Eeeeeelein

Thank you for the comment. But the thing is... the researchers have obviously negelected that fact that there are countries where email is NOT that commonly used or the way they think it's used. It's not about being cynical; it's about being objective actually.

Just how Science get this kind of biased work published?

They should probably know that citizens in China hardly use email to contact the possessioner...Also, lost stuff is generally turned in in the lost and found boxes or police stations in the vicinity. It is just me or is the research a well designed political reference which is aimed at enhancing certain unfair stereotypes? If the latter is the answer, those who took on the research should NEVER claim themselves as scientists. Shame on them.
