>Since latch-on and positioning fixed first, usually solve the great majority of problems, how would you design the study :-)< Since latch-on and positioning, done well (aha, there's the rub, as it were) usually solve the great majority of problems, the question is surely, is any study which does not address these first, ethical? The modern idea of research ethics was born in response to the revulsion of the scientific community when the extent of Nazi experimentation on people became known -- we should remember that research ethics really do matter. To disregard the simple, non-technical, yet effective solution in order to prove the efficacy of a product which is going to make some money is all too commonly seen but should always be questioned and resisted.
