Is there any practical value in 50 billion triples?

It's been my experience that the more stuff one combines from more sources, the noise level just goes through the roof.

Or have all the data in all the sources in that eye-chart been vetted?  Meaning: How do I know that "MA" in my source means the same as "MA" in your source?

What am I missing?
