How a real researcher does stuff

Intrigued, curious, digging data (and that includes getting it from reputable sources), checking for correlation, questioning causality, drawing careful lessons, offering qualifications...

Tim Haab shows us what a real researcher would do to answer a question (or even a mere curiosity).

Note. I'm sure Tim Haab does not remember me. But I'm proud to have given a (yes, lousy) presentation in Kerry Smith's prestigious Camp Resources back in 2003. Tim was the chair of my session. A fun guy.
