Census data is extremely powerful. It's why some states lost house seats and why some gained house seats.
It must therefore be maximally transparent. Do you want president Trump or palantir to decide on the "noise infusion" algorithm?

headcount doesn't have to be granular, it has to be accurate. this is about the very useful street- and block-level data.
also, if how would anyone know how accurate the "transparent" number is? if Trump or Thiel can fuck with the fuzzing they can just as do so with the base data.
