What That
Really Means . . .

It has been long known that . . .
|
I haven't bothered to look up the original
reference, but . . .
|
Of great theoretical and practical importance
. . .
|
Interesting to me . . .
|
While it has not been possible to provide definite
answers to those questions . . .
|
The experiment didn't work out, but I figured
I could get a publication out of it.
|
The operant conditioning technique was chosen
to study the problem. . . .
|
The fellow in the next lab already had the
equipment set up.
|
Three of the subjects were chosen for detailed
study. . . .
|
The results on the others didn't make sense.
|
Typical results are shown.

The best results are shown.

It is suggested that. . . It is believed that.

|
A couple of other people think so too.
|
It is clear that much additional work will
be required before a complete understanding.
|
I don't understand it.
|
Unfortunately, a quantitative theory to account
for these results has not been formulated.
|
I can't think of one and neither has anyone
else I know.
|
Correct with an order of magnitude. . . .
|
Wrong.
|
Thanks are due to Joe Jones for assistance
with the experiments and to John Doe for valuable
discussion.
|
Jones did the work and Doe explained what it
meant.
