Yea yea yea, and in the 50s and 60s studies showed whole language was the way to teach children more effectively to read, and that rehabilitating and understanding criminals was more important that punishing them.... Which lead to off the charts increases in illiteracy for the first time in american history it went UP! And to a 30 year crime wave that only recently has been culled!

Sorry, I'm not going to lose 30 years playing with your experiments, I'll take the 2000 years of written human experience and history as my guide on this one.
