Not earlier, but a nice example of data sharing from George Otis Smith (a relative?) writing in Science in 1915 www.jstor.org/stable/1639881
Quote: “Our explorations, surveys and investigations are in the public interest only as results are made public. This policy is as old as the Geological Survey itself, but several things have given a special impetus to the development of this policy. Beginning in August a year ago, a large volume of inquiries from producer and consumer of minerals came pouring into our office, and as never before the Geological Survey became a kind of “central” to the mineral industry. This opportunity for a larger service to the public not only resulted in gratifying relations with a large number of correspondents, but the rendering of such service has proved instructive to the public servants charged with the duty. Many of us on the Survey staff have acquired a keener realization of the need not only of giving the public the facts, but also of making those facts intelligible and useful to the citizen who may lack professional training in geology or engineering.”

Genuinely once read "SSPS". Another reason to switch to R and you can't misspell that.

I think the authors would have been better off taking a walk than creating this diagram.

R beats Python because R has dedicated quilts, for example: www.reddit.com/r/rstats/com.... Once you've lost the quilting war, you've lost everything.
