Apparently hactivists are dangerous to a computer's health as well.CASAA Staffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624098425616058852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237846547805652402.post-16356395397014276282012-03-02T12:47:29.745-05:002012-03-02T12:47:29.745-05:00Thanks for the comments.

I was pretty proud of this -- I may actually add it to the "my best works" section of my c.v.<br /><br />Yes, I suspect it could be accepted for publication if it were rewritten to be more serious. Since (as I have explained numerous times in serious posts) peer reviewers never see the actual data or analysis, they would have no way to know it was all made up. Indeed, since editors and reviewers generally are not even very expert in what has been written, and almost never do any research to support a review, I would bet the fact that this version is posted would not even keep it from getting published.<br /><br />I would not rule out some ANTZ hacktivist citing this someday, or at least not if someone creates a PDF version of the text and circulates it. The abstract is close enough to straight that it could fool the average anti-tobacco "expert".<br /><br />--Carl<br /><br />P.S. As for the promised new SM products here in southeast PA, I too have been looking and found no sign. I will try to bug some people about it.Carl V Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919902852457771666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237846547805652402.post-90663475563102234342012-03-01T22:25:55.468-05:002012-03-01T22:25:55.468-05:00Classic, truly classic! The results of this "...Classic, truly classic! The results of this "study" should have been presented to TPSAC. Unfortunately, they would probably read it as further proof of the dangers of smokeless tobacco products. Just their mentality.<br /><br />OT- Carl, any word on Swedish snus showing up locally?
