The science of opinion ...


Some may find this interesting (it is).

Some may find this threatening (it isn't, it is science).

Some may read it and use it to help them understand the dynamics of internet forums.

I'm not at all denying that readers of scientific psychobabble aren't necessary. I believe quite the opposite, as a matter of fact. If it weren't for these guys, we wouldn't have trains that run on time, planes flying near the speed of sound at 35,000 feet taking us across the country in under five hours. We wouldn't have satellites, cell phones, big-screen TVs or traffic control without them. My point is ... I couldn't care less HOW these things work, only that they do. I certainly don't want to read white papers on the technicalities, or minutia until my eyeballs glaze over either. I'd rather have a bird fly up my nose. :-)

Now then, back to the record vault.
