That's because I didn't take the PROFESSIONAL WANG-MEASURING COURSE at Cornell. My measurements would be amateur and potentially inaccurate. I would not wish to ruin this SERIOUS RESEARCH STUDY with my Bad Science.

Note to self: look for professional wang measurer so as to add personal data to research.

Where does one acquire a professional wang measurer? Is it a device, or a position, or both? I feel sorry for whoever has to put that on their tax return. Wang Measurer Technician.

If it's a device, I'd be afraid for my wang.

If it's a person, I'd be wondering about their daily life.

"Hi John, nice to meet you. What do you do?"
"Oh, I'm in, uh, measurements."
"Ah, weights and measures?"
"Mostly lengths, really."
"Got it. Like mapping distances? Surveying?"
"Uh, a lot shorter than that. Mostly working with... tools."
"Tools? Like.."

What I wanna see is a study as to whether a fully erect pole is indeed harder than Chinese algebra.

Also, I call shenanigans--it's not a true statistical study without a box-and-whisker diagram, or even a twig-and-berries stem-and-leaf diagram.

I'm sure the actual study goes to great lengths to describe its handling of the data set.
