Re: "Data Table" Definition

Sailesh said, "There can be tables with no row headers."

I do agree with this in principle, but I'm just not sure there can ever be
a valid 2x2 data table. It's the fact that it's so small that is making me
believe it's not valid, not the fact that it doesn't have row headers.

My theory is that there is always a better way to present information than
using a 2x2 table. I will be looking through all the great information
everyone has forwarded to me to see if I can come up with a definition for
Data Tables that will prevent others from using a data table in cases like
this.

Thanks,
David Ashleydale
