If you look at the results of all the products they studied,
regardless of area, the results showed they didn't affect the outcome
by amounts which could statistically be distinguished from zero.

We know that the education system is broken and based on
pseudoscience. But we'll never get it changed, as it means overturning
thousands of years of tradition.
