Research shows...

I have to agree with Dave Snowden here: "Human systems have two many factors and two many abstractions to be studied in the same way as ant behaviour or similar. Many of the classic experiments in psychology have not survived attempts at replication in consequences. You can't reduce the variables to achieve causal correlations in a complex adaptive system... So if someone says research shows a good starting assumption is to assume they are selling snake oil and they may or may not be duplicitous in doing so. A more interesting approach is to start with the research, referenced and then explore the consequences." So many writers in our field should take note.
