Is that less or more disturbing than that the other 50% come from not-SG centers?
Of course, the authors themselves may be willing to help correct the obvious typos -- which will presumably disappear forever once we can finally upload log files upon deposition (coming soon, I'm told).
On an unrelated note, it's reassuring to see sound statistical principles -- averages, large N, avoidance of small number-anecdotes, and such rot -- continue not to be abandoned in the politics of science funding, he said airily.
