<p>The kind of study you propose would certainly be helpful, but since I don’t have the time and resources to conduct it, and since it’s unlikely you will conduct such a study in a timely manner, and since I have to make a decision in a few weeks, I am forced to go with the common wisdom and my own possibly wrong-headed assumptions.</p>
<p>If you can suggest a better course of action under these circumstances, I would hope they would be forthcoming.</p>
