There is nothing wrong with that. I believe that anything other than a credible study that meets criteria set forth by peers in the profession should not be taken that seriously. IMHO.

Not a problem. The problem with using studies and research rather than actual experience and knowledge of that research, is that the majority of people looking for answers do not have any experience or education in actually reading and interpreting a study of this nature. These research projects are written for professionals, and they are written in a manner that assume a professional working knowledge of research design and statistical analysis. However, as I said, I will be glad to locate some articles for you. You might want to keep in mind, as well, that the reason I have numerous artices and research available to me is because I am a professional, and this is information that is not generally available to the general public.
That is not to say that I don't think you are capable of understanding the research. Just that when someone not familar with methods, etc. attempts to decipher a professional research paper, it creates more misunderstanding that it alleviates. We've seen that happen here on mumerous occassions.
