  • You seem determined to contradict everything I say.

    I know it's not 'your' study, but you quoted it. Hence why I referred to it as your study.

    I know you are in favour of testing. I read your comments fully.

    I know you are talking about some people believing that testing is not useful. Again, I read your comments fully.
