Because a plausible number is worse than no number. Somebody quotes it in a board meeting, it is wrong by a factor nobody checked, and the credibility cost lands on the person who repeated it.

Wrong answers become useful too — a citation pointing at the wrong rows shows a data problem you can fix once, for everybody.
It will not make bad data good. If timesheets are half-filled, a correctly sourced margin figure is still wrong, and the citation is what lets you see that.
