Oz ,'First Date'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
See, I know that datum is technically the singular for data, but in that sentence, if you used a pronoun, you would use "it" (you would not refer to data as "they"), as in "It is augmented," and the sentence would be correct.
"Has the data been augmented?"
"Yes, it has" is correct; "Yes, they have" is not?
Right? Or do I have to give up my life as a proofreader?!
English is so weird. Stupid contradictions.
I've had engineers insist that data is singular. As in "this batch of data here".
Well, in that case it's the batch that's singular.
I'm glad there's a data plural/singular argument. I felt really dumb asking.

No, the pronoun would be "they."
