Excellant post Chimbu.
It is the sort of ****e that could only be dreamed up by a academic in a lab.
Not all of the boffins agree...
One Sleep Researcher I know was stunned when he read the Australian ATC roster and Principles of Rostering that I showed him over lunch one day.

But then, he does spend his days testing and treating people for Sleep Disorders... not sitting in a small office down a back corridor of a University fudging raw data to achieve a Correlation Co-efficient of 1.0 for that next Higher Degree that one might be obsessed with achieving at the expense of a legitimate contribution to the Body of Knowledge.
