Yes and I think that part of the work is great. But there were references to ruddy-faced Swiss farmers and rooms full of "unsophisticated" people who couldn't see the point in controlled experiments to test something that they already know to be true. I thought there was a suggestion that this also counted as evidence. I'm not sure it does.
