Well yes it is actually, by collecting more data, you are doing a better job marginalizing the distribution of government corruption and waste across the planet. And that can make a seemingly bad thing turn out to actually be relatively good and vice versa.
Or, to quote some famous dead dude:
"The World Is a Book and Those Who Do Not Travel Read Only One Page" - St Augustine
Or, to quote Anthony Bourdain himself:
“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life—and travel—leaves marks on you.”
