        If you had actually read some of the responses without having
        made up your mind beforehand (which, as I recall from when I
        was a journalism student, is a sure sign that your pretenses
        of objectivity are lost), you might notice that both "winners"
        and "losers" are pointing out the SAME flaws in the study.

        Please go re-read the archives with a more open mind.
