Yes, this is very naive. They're actually asking for a forensic instrument - asserting that it is for a one-time use is absurd on the face of it. The most thorough deconstruction of this argument I've seen is here: http://www.zdziarski.com/blog/?p=5645

Beautiful, thanks for sharing.

It's rare to come across such an earnest belief in American exceptionalism these days. Do you have any sources for any of your positive assertions about the average American, or is it mainly personal experience/observed/anecdotal?

Don't ask for much, do you? As it happens they quite agree:

“I think that the best way to conserve the Dead Sea would be to reintroduce the natural flow from the Jordan River and decrease the pumping of water from the lake to the factories,”

Fascinating that the core study the article focuses on is using strictly male subjects. I thought this had been a controversial approach[1] for quite some time now - yet they still claim the study's main goal is "doing it right."
