[QUOTE="nap, post: 599638, member: 8447"] I can't agree that the cost is zero. If you figure in the time and effort that goes into supporting a basically unsupportable hypothesis, than the cost in definitely not insignificant. To me, it makes a lot more sense to spend that time and effort on trying to improve our enterprise, by concentrating on things that have been shown to be effective. I think that the sentiment "because that's the way granddaddy did it" , is an underlying theme for many people in our business. Maybe granddaddy was right a lot of the time, but I don't think he was infallible. I believe in experimentation based on some degree of supportable scientific evidence. I regard anything less as pure fantasy that I can't afford to waste time on. [/QUOTE]
