"Hello, yes, I would like to pollute my entire data store" is an insane a sales pitch. Start backing up your data lakes on physical media, there is going to be an outrageous market for low-background data in the future.

98% might well be disastrous, but I've seen enough awful quality human-produced data that without some benchmarks I'm not confident we know whether this would be better or worse.
