I think there needs to be more research done. Your degrees of freedom are too little. I propose that Craig McClain come to State College for an additional trial. Of course I'll need an outside observer to ensure the experiment runs the exact same way to reduce confounding variables, Andrew.

Great photo. I'm a huge fan of Chicago although not of their NFL team - I'm a Packers' supporter. Great blog I just came across it via the nature network.
