I'm always extremely cautious about quoting people about research that can't be verified easily by average people though.<br /><br />Research can be too specific or just done wrong and lead them to make conclusions that don't work in the real world, or may be proven wrong by a better study in future, but in the meantime we are left in limbo. <Steve Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773335929685893261.post-60407691697097978922010-01-19T23:00:29.933-05:002010-01-19T23:00:29.933-05:00steve couple more:
