AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

When will these grad students ever learn! If they even ARE grad students!

Y'know, just for the heck of it, I followed Jean's link and read the study. Okay, I skimmed the study, so maybe I missed it. But I saw no mention of line length, characters per line, leading, optical size, or any of the other confounding variables. This is not a study; it is a sham. Save your time.
