Another thing I noticed - wouldn't the selection of the sample subjects (in general) normally taint studies to being with?
People are being paid to participate in a lot of studies, so wouldn't that siphon study subjects out of the population with certain common attributes?
I mean, even as a non-scientist, whenever I read about a study, there's always something that immeditately jumps out at me that I recognize could taint it. I can't not notice. Whether it really matters in the end, of course I don't know, but there are always noticable things...
Sorry to get off in a tangent, Scott...I wasn't even going to check this forum today. Ok, I'm done for now. lol
