Did this study just prove the Novice Effect?
Hi Rip,
Question. When you boil down all the "yada-yada-yada" in this 'study'; did they inadvertently prove the Novice Effect? I tried to break it down in the manner so eloquently presented by Sully, et al in the series of videos a few months back; but I got a headache trying.
I felt this study used an awful lot of words for not much substance. Perhaps bigger and more experienced brains can tell if there is more to this?
