Ah, a study based on something Charles Arthur said?

I once had an email conversation with Charles Arthur, it didn't go well...

More like, 'a study prompted by noting serious flaws in an Arthur column and deciding to do better, while borrowing perhaps <1/10th of the final dataset from Arthur's data' (he had ~30, I wound up with 350).
