I used to have a whole lecture for young Geophysicists on what could go wrong with the data they received. In a way it was a paean to an old manager I had had who had gathered all of us youngsters together one day and said "kids, I just want you to know, that should not trust the data you get from other disciplines. You understand the problems and limitations of seismic data, but let me tell you, all those other data sources have just as many problems. Ask questions, don't accept their data blindly".
It was one of the more useful pieces of advice I received in my career.
"Wrong assumption, often made out of ignorance,"

Don't Trust Anything!!!!!!! seems to be a lesson we all wind up learning in this business.
