Better yet, look at the exact opposite of what John proposes!

Guidelines for doing your own research (memorize these) :

> 1) I am going to be fabulously wealthy as a result of my brilliant work,
just like Bill Gates

> 2) Statistics are lies, Mark Twain said so.

> 3) Scientists are a bunch of specialists and know nothing about the real
world. Forget about them.

> 4) As soon as I get this baby ready to fly, I'll find somebody with big
money to back it.

> 5) Maybe USDA will put up the funds for this one, they'll make a bundle on
it too.

> 6) This idea is so hot, I'll worry about the small stuff later

> 7) This idea is so brilliant, I can't believe no one thought of it. Must
be they're too sure of themselves to see what I see. It's so obvious.

> 8) In fact, I am so sure of this, I am going to do this to every lamb in
the flock.

> 9) Why fool around with stuff like controls, or comparison trials? If it
works, it'll sell.

> 10) Wait a minute, I better not consult anyone about this, they'll just
steal my idea anyway.

> 11) I can see it now, them all dismissing my work, because I have never
been to university or done this type of thing before. So-called experts be
hanged. For sure, all the best work is based on intuition, but that's all
lost on those rationalists who are always going on about reality-checking,
whatever that means.
