You are probably right in terms of strictly scientific studies. However (a) I think economists for instance use regression analysis to investigate the impact of a change in policy such as a tax or interest rate on a host of measures. If 52 social indices move in the "predicted" direction, contrary to expected trends, and this ME is repeated in another country, that would be more convincing supportive evidence for the ME than any study so far performed regarding Government policy changes or proposals. And (b) when MMY talks of "creating the effect now" I think he expects the effect to be more dramatic than any study could "prove" - not only very substantial changes in society but also more favourable receptivity to his ideas. So far the latter is not much in evidence yet - not even in Holland, at least not in any dramatic way.
But going back to your scientific considerations, what would constitute an ideal study in your view? --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On the surface it sounds good....but so much depends > upon the design of the study.
