    I was referring to the original URL being discussed:
    <http://www.betterhumans.com/News/news.aspx?articleID=2003-05-02-2>

    I was not referring to the URL you posted in response to the previous URL:
    <http://www.ism.uit.no/kk/e/key_findings.htm>

    You are applying my response to the wrong posting!

    Be careful with jumping to conclusions. My comments make perfect sense when
    applied to the proper study. It was your misunderstanding that made my
    comments appear to be non-sequitur with what you thought I was talking
    about.

    That study has nothing to do with any of my comments. I have neither read
    nor responded to that study. Looking at it now, I don't see anything there
    that I would dispute.
