I suggest you read some of the detailed statistical reports from PEAR. Go to <a href="http://www.princeton.edu/%7Epear/publications.html" target="_blank">http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/publications.html</a> and look at any of the experimental reports (not the discursive essays). (Of course you won't, you know in your bones, as John Clark does, that it's all BULLSHIT.)</blockquote>

More hilarity. This is your idea of a killer review of my book? Professor Caroline Watts' mostly positive reading?</blockquote><div><br><br> No, it was me demonstrating that I had taken the time to find a review of the book. In this case from a particularly sympathetic audience. <br>
