Speaking of social experiments, I don’t think you need to get so many comments in order to “validate” your experiment. Normally, when researchers conduct studies concerning human beings, they get the experiment cleared with some upper human rights authority, get the subjects to sign a waiver form, and offer some renumeration (cash, chocolate bars, etc) for the participants. Typically, minimal information is given to participants before the study, as explaining the details beforehand may affect the results (particularly if the experiment involves mental or psychological factors). After the experiment, an information sheet would be provided describing the previously undisclosed details, and information on how to see the results of the experiment.

Anyhow, that’s standard protocol. You seem to be going about it a completely different way, one can only wonder what will result of this.

Why do I always post in the wrong place? This belongs with your other entry. (I once tried commenting in the email slot, but they don’t allow anything longer than x characters, where x is a very small natural number.)
