Its really interesting the way the macro stuff can predict things on the micro level, because technically, its seems like it shouldn't. Or I'm just dumb.

You know, actually case studies are used almost as often as epidemeological studies or clinical trials for validating protocols. Which I, for one, think is scarier.
