Más sabe el diablo por...

Ya que por aquí anda un foco de expertos en el asunto de "behavioral research in OM" ando tomando un curso en eso (y porque la nueva Asesora, que es la que lo dicta, sugirió que lo tomara). 

Vean la perla que salió en la primera clase. Reemplazar [experimental research] al gusto:

"Another way of dealing with [experimental research] errors is to have friends who are willing to spend the time necessary to carry out a critical examination of the experimental design beforehand and the results after the experiments have been completed. An even better way is to have an enemy. An enemy is willing to devote a vast amount of time and brain power to ferreting out errors both large and small, and this without any compensation. The trouble is that really capable enemies are scarce; most of them are only ordinary. Another trouble with enemies is that they sometimes develop into friends and lose a good deal of their zeal. It was in this way that the writer lost his three best enemies."
