<snip all the facts that we think the tests were biased> I was just thinking... with any truly scientific experiment, there has to be legitimate documentation on the procedures used for the experiment. These serve for three main purposes: first so you can follow what you did. Second so you can repeat the experiment, hopefully coming to the same conclusions. And third, so that outside parties can duplicate your results. I'm wondering if it's worth asking the two "authors" to see their procedures and use that information as a potential basis of a "letter to the editor"? Afterall, CNN is a MAJOR media base, and would probably hate to be disemminating faulty data? Just a thought... --John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
