** Editorial:
-- Section 1. Editorial. s/fewer data/less data/
[ML] I was suggested by a mother tongue to replace "less data" with
"fewer data" before WGLC . After a further check on the web, it seems
that "less" fits better for massive data.
Indeed. The rule is that we use "fewer" with countable items and
"less" with things that aren't counted. "Fewer coins", but "less
money", because we might have three coins, but we can't have three
monies. "Data" isn't countable, so "less" is correct.

Thanks Barry. Lesson learned.
