    I'd like to believe budget is the problem... but I can't.  How much 
would it cost to hire an intern to search the Internet and see if the 
"myth" in question is really a myth or not?  They're just intellectually 
lazy with their research and logic.

    And that begs the question, even when they have a properly-designed 
meaningful test, are they capable of accurately executing it?  Or, is it 
all just special effects, smoke, and noise?  If I'm just watching the 
latter, I can find that with a better plot on another channel.

my twopence,
