I was taking a break from the 3 Rs (readin', writin', and rantin') watching an episode of CSI:Miami, when guess what!  They had a case of "action research" with an investigator that was mentally and physically torturing a female grad student.  Well, she winds up killing the professor (that was the point of the episode, of course) because the "study" affected her adversely.  So, the tag line for the show was something like the grad student saying, "If I had known this was an experiment, I probably wouldn't have killed the professor.  But I'm glad he's dead!"  

And I'm thinking, "Wow!  Didn't Terry just talk to us about this?"  Let's make sure we all get our investigations past the Review Board!
