So, my original comment really boils down to the idea that "public perception has nothing to do with objective stats". To which your response is ... citing a paper at me.

To reiterate, citing studies that show that smoking causes cancer in chain smokers does ... nothing. You are citing studies, but I am not the chain smoker; I am just the guy talking about chain smokers.

One more time, I wish we lived in a world where public perception was swayed by objective studies, but we don't.

Julia is fast, yes, but when a university sys-admin rolls their eyes at hearing its name, you have lost the battle for well and good.
