This brings up another area of corruption.  Most "unbiased third-party
analysis" isn't unbiased.  =/

What's the best thing to do with young researchers?  Regularly sit
with them and help them understand good from bad resources.  Steer
them away from using surfacy Google searches and citing rogue personal

have to be cultivated in the next generation.  Or maybe people are
less gullible than they used to be.  (naw)
