Wade wrote in the original missive:
"A few people have said they are doing this, here in this forum
among other places, but, have provided no evidence or tracking of
reasonable clinical data to substantiate their claims."
I asked the questions to get Wade to answer that question.
I would think that verification or substantiation of the usefulness of a
meme would be its wide distribution within a system and a verifiable effect
within that system occurring at the time or just after a meme was introduced
into the system.
