Sigh. Well, a few clicks on the UT back arrow makes it all seem fairly obvious to me.

But I don't mind at all and I'd rather stick to issues that matter.

You made a point that you will disallow "anecdotal evidence". Interesting point. All single case studies are anecdote, and all individual personal experience is anecdote. IT is different from Science in that IT allows such case studies and other anecdote to be cast as "positive proof" whereas science would hold that anecdote can only be used to disprove. IOW, IT does not have a framework of rigorous investigation of new ideas or tools; instead we rely on vendor announcements, self-appointed gurus, and a sprinkling of personal anecdote.

If you are saying that you are going to discipline the whole industry into a more scientific approach to evidence, then go forth... and feel free to call on me if I can help in any way. This is not a joke; if you're brave enough to take a crack at that, the prospect of involvement seems irresistable ;-)
