Indeed, and I'm certainly not going to let a "study" get in the way of common sense and personal experience either Fred! Especially with something as nebulous and as idiosyncratic as education. By all means quote studies of drug x against drug y, but "studies" of communication are fraught with difficulties of design, of interpretation and of broader applicability. We would be foolish to discard tried and tested techniques on the basis of such "research". You'll just have to burn me at the stake first...
