Hard to Extrapolate
At a convention of biological scientists one
researcher remarks to another, "Did you know that in our lab we have switched
from mice to lawyers for our experiments?" "Really?" the other replied, "Why did
you switch?" "Well, for three reasons. First we found that lawyers are far more
plentiful, second, the lab assistants don't get so attached to them, and thirdly
there are some things even a rat won't do. However, sometimes it very hard to
extrapolate our test results to human beings."
