    Should we therefore vote YARRR for Rob being the Diddler?

    Doesn't that sound fitting?

    Do you see him as clearly in that as I do? I also envisioned a pink tutu ..leotards and ballet slippers would look good too..don't you think?

    Isn't it great that I was actually going to suggest a tutu and ballet slippers too?

    Por que no los dos?

    Would you rather simultaneously diddle and tickle, or are we settling on strict diddling now?

    If you diddle and tickle simultaneously, doesn't that increase your chances of tittlating the diddlee? Were half of those even words?

    Why is my forum feed showing that I commented in threads I've never been to?

    Perhaps some empirical research would be needed in order to more accurately determine the correlation between simultaneous diddling and tickling, and "tittlating the diddlee"?

    Shouldn't research in this field be encouraged, especially where peer review is concerned?

    Seeing that triangulation of data is academically/scientifically sound, wouldn't it be a surprise if it were discouraged?

    Isn't it usually discouraged when the data triangulation is overlayed with heatmap research and found to correlate with areas of biology heretofore avoided for the sake of sensibility?

    Wouldn't that depend on the research group since research methodologies may widely vary, even within a single discipline?

    So are you trying to say that the methodology employed by the performer of the research is what ultimately determines the outcome of the research? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the scientific method? Or does it even matter, as long as the research is enjoyable?

    Don't you know that researchers are known to fudge data in order to make their research results look more interesting and streamlined?

    So then isn't it important for third parties to perform the same research over and over, in order to ensure that a non-biased perspective on the data is gleaned?

    Did you two scare everyone away? :D

    Most definitely, but despite that, isn't it sad that there will nevertheless ultimately be some level of bias, contradictions, or holes in the methodologies and findings?
