I wonder if it's worth seeing if we can directly address that point with fact/data somehow.
For people who make an internal review request in $time_period, could we contact them a few days later and ask whether they would still have made that request after a couple of days space for a-non-instant-response? Not that facts will help a huge amount I suspect, but they're nice to have. Sam On 19 Dec 2011, at 17:13, Kristina Glushkova wrote: > Hi Tom, > > Very interesting indeed, thanks for sharing.
