Re: wrong question...

Maybe I am mistaken. But I can't help but feel you are missing my point. In a drug trial for example, it does not matter what the participants guess they are on (guess, because in a DBT, they don't know what they are on), but the statistical rates of improvement. So the question asked is, do you feel better? (in a general sense). By extension, we should ask, which picture LOOKS better. But as you said, enough.

We could into a discussion on the value of computers...the cognitive science guys are really into computers & seem to ignore that there is a biological substrate (ie. a brain & nervous system). So I am with the old guys ;-)

To answer your question, no not Bill from Stanford. However, I should say nearly all of my research has been clinically focussed. In fact, during the dissertation defense the first comment from my external was, "clearly you are a clinican". That has been my focus since that time, as I find the whole publication process, needlessly nasty.

My buddy, who is a fellow of the APA, still gets nasty replies to his papers from "blind reviewers". He has been at it long enough (& has enough status) to be able to say that the reviewer or editor are "inexperienced". His response to reviewers who say sections are not well written, is also worth a laugh. He says, "I can see how this reviewer may have misunderstood what I was writing about."

I will take this opportunity to thank him again for helping through the thesis process. Don, has the ability to summerize the ramblings of a "student" & put it into context, very helpful as you wade through tons of papers. His help with the stats was also greatly apperciated.
