Those choices also have implications. For example, the fact that we generally measure height at its absolute maximum likely leads people to overstate when they're asked to self-report. Because it puts a higher social value on higher heights.

Even pretty enlightened people have a hard time grasping the degree to which data is/are constructed. What is recorded, and how, reflects assumptions (either explicit or implicit) about what matters, which in turn propagates through the entire analysis. Which is why “objective data analysis” is BS.
