Sorry you don't like it.

Your logic is flawed..the way you write in 4 inch columns is annoying I would say for most readers.
The idea of studies is to use the info and then take the pieces that you feel overall may have some value...dont follow and react to them exactly. ( use common sense , thats why you have it - or dont in some peoples cases lol)
Example:
A 2009 study found that no one has ever died sleeping in a USA 24-7 Mcdonalds ...that doesnt mean to live longer go and sleep at your local Big Mac store! .....
