>Maybe you should grow some tolerance for alternative ideas and thoughts Yes! Exactly! That's just what I wanted you to do! And you even elaborated a bit! A nasty throwaway line like yours about how it's obviously going to fail does not telegraph that you're "skeptical about the idea and would like to see how it goes" -- quite the opposite. You've already determined that the study will fail, and that's the conclusion you're interested in seeing. Think I'm wrong? How could I have reasonably concluded otherwise based on "[o]r moving backwards, the study will findout"?
