High data quantity automatically translates into high-quality outcomes without additional verification processes.

Increases in data quantity can enhance quality through diverse input but may require filtering for reliability.

Data quantity has no effect on quality since all user-generated content is equally valuable.

It guarantees accurate results by considering every detail submitted

It prevents any form of bias in analyzing responses from participants
