That's not the difficult part. As A33Zab says:

The data is stored in a machine-orientated format that must be converted, then cross-checked by hand to ensure accuracy. We're talking serious man-hours for even 10 minutes of the 300-odd mandatory parameters, let alone the full 1,300 (approx.). Call me kooky, but I'd need some serious evidence that the published data was doubtful before even considering diverting resources into that effort.

As a member of the lay public, I see no such evidence - perhaps those calling for this would care to provide some?
