The above link contains an overview only (payment needed for full article), the results section certainly does grab the eye.

From this overview it certainly, to me at least, seems to be an experiment which is slanted. I suppose only reading the full article would tell, but it does smell a little off to me.

That's a good point SimonB2008, the elderly lady (mid eighties) round the corner from me asked if my setup was any good, but when I explained how easy it was to give up and how cheap it was, she just shrugged her shoulders, "what difference would it make now" she said puffing away on a cigarette.
