Some of the best analysis I ever wrote was written really well and had 
really brilliant logical conclusions inside, only it wasn't based on 
reality, but rather on facts not in evidence. Boy was I annoyed having to 
re-write. I wished I was a lawyer and could spin it rather than defend my 
thesis, but there you go.

Yes, I did learn how to research correctly after a couple of attempts.
