I'm sorry, but that Kirsch et al study is complete garbage. I offered a detailed critique of it here: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20080221/msgs/815551.html

There were other significant criticisms that ended up in other posts, but this was my main set of issues with it.

I really wish this man would go away. He gives a bad name to cherry-pickers. (Cherry-picking is the act of mining statistics for the rare examples that support an argument that is contradicted by the body of the evidence.)
