In some ways this may be true, but we are talking about a human subject study not "1 out of 10 people choose Coke over Pepsi". There are guidelines and ethical ramifications for those who tamper with the results of studies. I know that sometimes numbers can be "tweeked", but I am a true beliver in scientifical inquiry, a
true researcher presents the facts no matter what they may be...In God I trust, all others must bring data
! I would def like to see the data on a study about depression and rappers. From the excerpts of the book on Amazon, it does not appear that Ms. Morgan is a researcher, rather she is a journalist. Journalists often get paid to sensationalize situations, stories, or reports to make them interesting and worthy to sell. Nonetheless, it appears that this book may be a good read for entertainment.
