Unfortunately, the actual research paper is behind a paywall. I wonder what do intelligent people think about placing publicly funded research behind paywalls.

- tokenadult 17y agoYou didn't miss anything by not going through the paywall. I did go through the paywall, and found the same tired "study" that PZ has already decried: http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/02/stop_patting_yourselves_on_the.php http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/02/stop_patting_your... This seems to be the flavor du jour in self-congratulation, but there isn't well established research here. http://norvig.com/experiment-design.html http://norvig.com/experiment-design.html
- epochwolf 17y agoWhile I won't pretend to be one of those intelligent people I do have an opinion about publicly funded research. I think publicly funded research should be released into the public domain (or under license similar to the Creative Commons Attribution [1]) since the public funded it.
