Every dataset costs money to produce. Is it more cost effective to expect that 
those wishing to use the data repeat the expenditures by repeating the 
experiments?  To exaggerate the point, imagine a world without published 
research articles, would it be more expensive to do science or less? We should 
not simply dismiss an idea just because we think today that "640K is more 
memory than anyone will ever need"
