Good Morning:

Bob stated:  "Researchers are held in awe at their presentations by the
average beekeeper."

Kind words, but I'm not sure that they're true.  I'm afraid that more
often, (researchers) use so much jargon that its like listening to a
speaker from another country -- not much gets through to the audience.  Its
not awe, its incomprehension.

Also, as to the question about what a SWAG is.

SWEG and the alternate term SWAG are acronyms, often used when the data
falls short or is being pushed too far --

SWEG stands for Scientific Wild-Eyed Guess, and SWAG is a bit more vulgar.

Cheers

Jerry
