Re: I'm skeptical

IT may be perfectly good, but I'm skeptical when a business sells a product/course/seminar, and then puts out a news release saying their product/course/seminar is the best:

"Nationwide assessment data collected from 3,144 members of 313 fraternity and sorority chapters revealed significant reductions in drinking, especially high-risk, heavy episodic "binge" drinking, after they took AlcoholEdu:"

I hope their program is the answer to some of our alcohol problems, but the purpose of this news release (which will probably be in the mailbox of every GLO office and magazine editor Mon. morning) is to sell more.

"Nationwide assessment data" sounds like academic mumbling to me.
You're entitled to be skepticle, but if there is no proof of fudging the stats, then the title of this thread is the only lie in it.
