One of the practices discussed by Kim I found to be potentially very useful in future endeavors was Triangulation as a means of Validation. I have always question the validity of data sets produced without strictly scientific methodologies, they are often subject to bias on many fronts and utilizing them for anything seems like massaging the data to me at least in most cases.
For these reasons triangulation is amazing. It is a method in which you pull two or more (ideally three) different data sources that seem to be saying the same thing and use them to support any time of claim you will make about the nature of the problem as well as shores up any doubts you have on acting on such grounds.
