Once data hits the blockchain, there's a whole different ballgame. Take CPI numbers—when they're recorded on-chain, you've got immutability working in your favor. No tweaks, no revisions hiding in the footnotes. That's the whole appeal, right? The data becomes verifiable and transparent by design. Course, it still depends on the source feeding that info in the first place, but once it's locked onto the ledger, that's your ground truth.

Once it's on the chain, it can't be changed, but what if the original data source has issues... that's the real pitfall.

Well, once it's on the chain, the data can't be changed, but if garbage data gets in, it's still garbage. If the source isn't good, there's no hope.

On-chain storage can prevent tampering? Wake up, brother. Garbage in, garbage out.

The key is the source; no matter how immutable it is on the chain, it's useless.
