'datum' isn't a useful word, because since data isn't a countable noun, it can't be quantized down to any indivisible object other than a 'bit', which we already have a word for

i see 'datum' used by those knobbly academics to refer to e.g. a 'data point'. so is the y-coord of that point also a 'datum'? is the whole dataset also a 'datum' then, if a 'datum' can be a set? 'datum'??? more like dat-dumb !!!!!!

and then proves to be alive.

when i was an edgy teen, i thought that humans were stupid. then about age 20 i started being humble. now my extremely Nuanced position is that people are smart but suffer from so many unfortunate biases in thought that they are likely to act incredibly ignorantly unless they're confronted with clear information and placed into the right situation & context
