In this cyberworld of cut-and-paste ad nauseam, the truth is often disguised, trampled, or completely lost. (Sometimes the truth never existed in the first place, like with conspiracy theories.)
I wish more people would bother to chain search.

The link she posted was included in the article I posted. No chain or backward link searching necessary.
If you think the article I posted about the study was an inaccurate summary let us know after you read the actual study.
