It's too funny not to.<BR/><BR/>BTW, anonymous, peer review consists of doing more research and finding consistent results with different samples. It means that you try to refute the research with more data and find that you can't. It means not taking anything at face value. The key word is REVIEW and it doesn't include merely reading it and nodding in agreement. <BR/><BR/>I might be an idiot, but from the tone of your comment, I wouldn't trust you to notice or be able to judge.<BR/><BR/>Bottom line ... If the problems with research are this noticeable, then peer review should point them out. It would be irresponsible not to. If you want to believe that all people have the political views they have because of fear, I certainly can't stop you. If you feel that one group of college students and their professor examining 46 elderly white people from Nebraska is any indication of the US as a whole, then I can't help you either.<BR/><BR/>But then, I don't care what you think.<BR/><BR/>Have a nice "Talk Like a Pirate Weekend, anyway."Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323026187622872114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8705078887057341738.post-39556748074956395502008-09-20T13:21:00.000-04:002008-09-20T13:21:00.000-04:00Yeah, I'll trust your evaluation of this study ove...Yeah, I'll trust your evaluation of this study over the actual scientists who reviewed it and deemed it a significant contribution to knowledge.
