That was my quote originally. My point is, if you're trying to build an argument, don't make us do all the work.  I read and write scholarly articles for a living, so yeah I could do this, but my free time is valuable.  I'm not going to spend 3 hours trying to figure out this new field of study, read all the articles, and then try to figure out if they're biased or not, all in aid of helping you make your point. Do some of the work yourself, and summarize your endless links.

See....the argument has already been built in the pages leading up.  They are there to prove my point is based on actual research.  I don't see why anyone would have to read through and summarize articles when the summary is included in the first paragraph of all of them and the whole thread is about the topic being discussed..  Also, posts get too long if you paste information that could easily be accessed by link.  You wouldn't read it anyways I'm sure. [/quote]

Actually, as somebody who does research for a living, I know for certain that I'd have to read every article -- to see if there are any biases, obvious flaws with the regressions, who paid for the research, et cetera.  You and I both know there is a lot of awful research out there, paid for by various industries, regressions with flaws that make your eyes pop, all purporting to support one conclusion or another.[/quote]
