Billthedrill beat me to the comment I was going to make—that your advice runs contrary to the rules of the forum.

I recall one person commenting that he almost read an article, but that he then remembered his new year’s resolution. I responded, I believe via PM, and it turned out to be the only resolution that he has managed to keep.

In defence of a practice that I believe everyone adopts sometimes, and some people adopt every time, often some (only some) of the comments have more information than the articles and some (sometimes most) of the comments are better written and more entertaining than the articles

I doubt that this article will be entertaining, but I think I will read it after having read the thread because it may be informative.

That said, I’m dubious, because I do not think we have enough information out yet to draw firm conclusions, even though experts nearly always feel compelled to draw firm conclusions whatever stage of development things are at. My first degree is in Economics, where the field is built on SWAG—Scientific Wild-Ass Guesses. These due serve a valuable purpose, but must be recognized for what they are.
