From Tony Partridge
Your article on unremarkable conclusions of research
(25 December 1999, p 51)
missed my favourite. Many years ago, the author Fred Orr, a close friend and
colleague, had his extensive doctoral research at the University of New South
Wales correctly summarised in the local press by the conclusion that shyness can
be cured but sufferers are too shy to ask for help.
