True, but I think that actually reinforces my point. Someone who has researched the field has studied all these different things, maybe looked at dozens or hundreds of pieces of data, and so on....

As a trained researcher I am sure you realize that after looking at dozens or hundreds of pieces of data without a true analysis the data provided is still anecdotal evidence. While certain professions have chosen to ignore it...there are a number of methods for taking a number of studies (even case studies) and combining the evidence for statistical analysis...

Agreed, but on an internet forum asking for the data is a bit out of line, IMO.

Obviously...we should all believe what we read on the internet. I know I personally believe everything I read....
Without data to back it your word...IMHO that data is worth what I paid for it.
It you are a an expert like Gabe, Ayoob etc I am more willing to believe your assertions....If I don't have a clue who you are.....well
I am not disagreeing with Lurpur....I do however think that one should look at both wins and losses for a better analysis of what works and what does not.
I believe that Lurpur's basic assumption is quite sound. I would however like to see evidence also.
