OR doesn't ban any conceivable creative act or

trouble. Its scope has crept larger over the years, but I still think
it's stretching it rather far out of the bounds of common sense to claim
that watching a set of shows and noting down a list of all the cars that
are covered in them is OR.
Collation without selection or interpretation is not (usually) original research. It is
adjacent to it: take a list of collated names, separate out men and women (for example)
and you may have done some original research; the bare presentation may 'tell a
story' against our content rules. The hypothetical (I hope) TV watcher shouldn't
be trying to present a thesis that the program is favouring Japanese cars ...
As usual, I'm not much interested in drawing the line more precisely.
