We have commented before that our industry needs fewer stories/case studies and more research, evidence and data.

Surely the author would insist on testing of any “step-by-step” prescriptions. In fact, there is no way to know if what one advisor firm did, in the past at a specific location can be generalized to current conditions in different cites, markets and firms.

Finally, we always cringe when we hear the word “secret”!

Imagine if you went to your doctor and she said: “I have a secret treatment and here are the stories of patients I’ve cured.” No doubt you would want some statistical data and scientific proof.
