It has long been known......... I haven't bothered to look up the original reference, but... 2. Of great theoretical and practical importance..................... interesting to me 3. While it has not been possible to provide answers to these questions........................ the experiment didn't work out but I figured I could at least get a publication out of it 4. Three of the samples were chosen for detailed study............... the results of the others didn't make any sense 5. Typical results are shown here... the best results are shown 6. It may be that...it is believed that... it is suggested that..... I guess 7. It is generally believed that.... a couple of other guys think so too 8. Agreement with the predicted curve is: Excellent.......... Fair Good............... Poor Satisfactory....... Doubtful Fair............... Imaginary 9. It is clear that some additional work is needed before a complete understanding.................... I don't understand 10. Unfortunately, a quantitative theory to account for the results has not been completely formulated....................... no one else understands it either 11. Correct within an order of magnitude........................ wrong 12. Thanks are due to Joe Glotz for assistance with the research and to Stan Smart for his valuable insight.......................... Glotz did the work and Smart explained what it meant 13. Apparently....................... it is not clear 14. It is obvious.................... I think that is the way it should be but I can't explain why 15. Due to sample shortages, I was unable to duplicate my analysis to determine the source of variation........................ I was confident of my lab procedure so I stupidly discarded the samples before receiving the results 16. Additional research is needed.... I could sure use the funding
