It is now! Inter-library loan took a while. Thanks for the rec, I usually don't giggle so much while reading a statistics textbook. It's pretty great, though there's surprisingly little about this exact thing.

I LOLed at "No Respect." I had heard the wine label advice, but didn't realize it was part of such a huge —if limited— way of thinking. Anyway, this was a great one!
