1) If he's three or four orders of magnitude off, his point still stands.
2) Also, the data could be almost completely unstructured. You mine the data that you have to create structure. If you toss anything, or prematurely optimize things, you're missing out on what the algorithms that you come up with 10 years from now will give you.
3) If you're using enough redundancy to multiply $35,000 into $3,000,000,000, you're insane.
