Hi Rieva.

How many people were in the control group, and was it a "double-blind" procedure where a 2nd group of equal size was left alone, and their productivity gaged as well? (It's quite possible some people's productivity just went up or down all on its own - which is why we need a double-blind test.) The larger the control group, the better. If it was less than 10's of thousands, the results are necessarily very sketchy, in scientific terms. Millions would be even better.
