You know, it's funny that you bring up academic studies because there are so many academic studies that are funded by private equity. The authors sometimes don't tell you about the conflicts. They just gave me a lot of studies that had private equity, you know, sort of affiliation. And I said to them, "I'm sorry, I'm just not going to do that"
