The team retains all collected data because the data is precious and is not deleted.

“Yeah, so we don't throw away data.”

“I think maybe what I meant was potentially,”

“like if God was observing the experiment.”

“there is more data in the experiment than humans can fit in a computer.”

“Unfortunately,”

“us mortals cannot observe all the atoms.”

“So even though there's more data than we could store,”

“we actually can't access that data. For example,”

“I cannot trace all the atoms positions.”

“So unfortunately,”

“we're still in a regime where any data we collect is very precious and we don't delete any of it.”
