1) There isn't going to be any hard evidence - this isn't a physics problem,
or even an engineering problem. It's a social problem. There are no other
collaborative groups sufficiently similar to the Linux kernel community, so there
are no studies that would be relevant. Asking for the impossible is just a
lame delaying tactic.

2) Sarah hasn't even asked to cut down on the swearing - so why mention
it at all? Did you even read the thread?

So I shall (for comedic effect) indulge in my own (uncharacteristic) bit
of name calling and dub thee a troll (and every other bad thing that anyone
is ever alleged of calling another on LKML, just to be sure).

-Tony
