I'm not trying to be argumenative but I'm going to have to say that study is a little off base. And one must remember that Science doesn't
prove it only disproves. It might have disproved the fact that working 48+ hrs a week is good for you. But it can't prove that it's actually harmful, that study doesn't show what else these people did. Whether the person who worked 48+ hrs a week went home, downed a fifth of scotch, picked up a guitar and played in the clubs all night, or if that guy went home, had dinner and went to bed. The basic premise is that science can only disprove theories. It can't prove them because there are just too many variables and environmental conditions. You can tell if it was a serious scientific study if it is worded like a News Paper ( not the enquirer! ). Newspapers say, "Man allegedly killed his wife." They never say, "MAN KILLED WIFE!" Even if the man is found guilty by a court of law 100 times over, "Man found guilty of allegedly killing his wife." Again, I wasn't trying to be argumentative, I just wanted to say that. Too often, "scientific studies" ( and I use the term
lightly ) are not as well thought out as they should me.
I'd like it stated that this is my opinion, if you don't agree, please reply and tell me your veiws, but I'm not interested in starting a fight/flame war/pizza party/whatever.
