Falsification is part of the data review - the first step is always to eliminate solutions that obviously ie provably won’t work. The decision making process, both for Amazon HQ is inherently subjective / has too many dimensions to make an objective decision.

i.e. the process is for selecting out of the final 20, that have been fully vetted and feasibility established.

Or for deciding among three finalist engineers who’ve passed all interviews and tests and you can only hire one.

Or schools or colleges or whatever.
