Jim Guinee: First we should make sure you read me correctly. Here is my original post, word for word: "I would be interested in comments/critiques on this study. When I present a research study in class, I like to find something that is methodologically sound, but tinged with controversy to see if those polarized on the issue overlook methodological problems or skewer them." Nowhere did I call the study "well-designed." I said it was "methodologically sound." In my view, its flaws are not extremely obvious, they require more digging.
