Hi! I was just looking into the use of "wrangling" in the book.
The first edition defined wrangling as the combination of tidying and transforming data in the introduction, but the "Wrangling" part defined wrangling as importing, tidying and transforming (and it had a figure that showed that).
Now the second edition keeps a mention to wrangling as tidying and transforming in the introduction but then the term is not quite used again (and the Wrangling part as it was in the first edition is not in the second edition, having being split between the Whole Game and the Transform parts. The figure with wrangling shown on the analysis cycle is not longer included in the new edition (as far as I could see).
I wonder what your current take on "wrangling" is?
I am an instructor of quantitative methods and you know statistical terminology can be unwieldy so that's why I am asking about this (it's not a terminological qualm or a critique in any way).
