I'm quoting just this part and focusing on just this and doing it in Mod-voice™ just to make sure everyone reads this as apart from the thread at hand. What Martian did is exactly how we'd like these discussions to go. Notice that Martian has read the studies and is using them in his response. Notice what he didn't do. He didn't quote the entire study and hijack the thread. This is how the spirit of discussion is encouraged. This is how we get more contributors to threads. This is how we foster a politics forum where everyone feels welcome contributing.
