Introduction

stephen dubner: I was hoping this episode would not only call attention to the problem, but help solve it. Well, dear listener, we failed. We did not solve this problem at all, at least as evidenced by how often i still encounter it. So maybe this time around it'll work. They say springs eternal, and if there's anything i have in abundance, it's hope. This is a nice short, by the way. Thanks for listening, and let us know what you think.
