Are there any studies showing this really is more appealing, and any perceived improvement isn't the result of a placebo effect?

Reminds me of the day in high school when the senior group photo was being taken, the photographer giving a speech beforehand about how each year he and the principal would go over the whole thing with a magnifying glass in search of any questionable hand gestures, and would charge the offending student for the costly digital touch-up if one was found...

It should go without saying that I didn't eat this thing by myself in one sitting. I'm not Elvis. Just a former Elvis impersonator.

No, but I started adding arugula in later iterations.

Fiction author. And I now am, albeit not making a living from it.

It does? That *would* be shocking -- I didn't even know I had one! Did you mean the Photostream of the owner of this Flickr account?

So you believe that the literary merit of a book can be judged by how difficult it is to comprehend? You remind me of the protagonist of [my book](https://uawatts.com/realia)[.](https://uawatts.com/x/giveaway)

Thank you.

If you truly believe all that can be extrapolated from my decision not to use a website because doing so would be bad for business, I suppose I can't do much to stop you.

This accusation would be difficult to disprove. You can note the edit I've made to the post if it makes you feel better.

As Margaret Mead once said: Children must be taught how to think, not what to think. I object to social justice warriors attempting to brainwash children into accepting their ideals through schooling and media, and I’m no hypocrite.

Aside from mentions of Presidents, there is no overtly political content in the book, from any viewpoint. (Reasonably astute readers, however, may notice some content that could be an interpreted as a subtle dig at SJWs.)

I haven’t and won’t. While Upgoat, at its administrative level, merely touts itself as a haven for free speech, Gab’s extreme viewpoints are baked into its self-proclaimed raison d'être. Setting up an account there would not be good for PR or sales.

Any word-of-mouth publicity would be welcome, of course, provided it doesn’t imply that I endorse the means of doing so or the platform upon which it is posted.

The kind that mines data about your opinion of my book. Not a very effective or malicious mining tactic, come to think of it.
