    Hello, wade,

    Do you think it is possible to design an accurate experiemnt on the subject
    of violence spreading through the influence of exposure to it?

    Are you saying that the experiment was badly done and/or that witnessing
    violence does not lead to its transfer?

    Best regards,
    Lawrence
