    I would have to know what was right or wrong with the book's premise. That's just the kind of writer I am, annoyingly for me.

    In Britain we study mathematics - I'm never sure which single mathematic you guys study :D

    I mean, you have heard of surveys and things, right? All those things that we know about society, changing attitudes, results of policies etc. etc. don't just happen, you know. Someone has to research them.
