Of course this mostly means people with such commitments will just rationalize whatever affiliation/status seeking they would do anyway as following the data, but maybe sometimes it will be a nudge in the right direction, like science.<br /><br />Mike Linksvayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125251658502322772noreply@blogger.com
