Quote from Tums:
Someone sent me a PM... he does not like Avi's short answer.
Consider yourself at the race track; you want to bet on a winning horse.
You have read the racing sheets, watched the morning practices, studied many expert analysis.
You want to do further research.
You embark upon studying the urine of the horses.
A trainer came by while you were take samples.
You ask him if this is a worthwhile study.
The trainer said: "No".
What should your reaction be?
-- thank him for saving your hundreds of hours of useless research?
-- getting upset at him for disagreeing with you?
-- blame him because he has not given you the PhD dissertation for why this is not a good analysis?
