Re: [at-l] To filter or not to filter..



The book is not a scientific study, but its not useless either.  Its
basically a gathering of anecdotal data which makes interesting, and
possibly useful, reading.  This kind of informal research is often used
to gather preliminary data from which more detailed scientific studies
can be designed.  Very common in the social sciences.  Wildbill is
correct that you need to be careful in drawing conclusions.
