I think data (as in raw, collected / measured / surveyed data) doesn't really change, but you get more of it. Some data may occasionally supersede old data. Maybe the schema of the data changes, so your first set of data is in one form, and subsequent data might have more information, or recorded in a different way.

We think this is the assumption (that data does not change) but we don't think it holds and data diffs help show you when something you did not expect did change.
