    And upon superstition, and leisure time, and social standing, and a
    postal service or other distribution, and perhaps a hundred other
    motivations and forces none of which will be, ever are, or could even be

    IMHO such studies are useless. They are only valid as meters of
    academia's distance from practicality.
