>> I think we should demand a lot from institutions and very little from individuals<p>This is... misguided. Anyone who has spent any time in large institutions knows that you get enough good people together and bad things happen. Google is just one example of a place full of smart well intentioned folks and it just went sideways. Is there a <i>single</i> example of an institution which behaves better than the folks who are part of it?
A few years ago I was sitting next to a military phycologist who was flying home from a conference in Auckland, and she was reading this book. I had recently read the article, so we had a conversation about the book. She argued that the problems with the book were fairly well known within her circles, but she still thought it had positive influence because people were now talking about and thinking about sleep.
What the hell is he talking about? In the first graph, the trend is clearly a negative correlation between hours of sleep and accidents, even if you include the 5 hour data point.
It sounds to me that Hosieth is making too much of the issue.
They may be correct, but this is not in my mind the highlight of 'adademic misconduct' that could be brought to mind.<p>In general, the chart they refer to says that more sleep equals leff injury, and I don't think that is really disputable.
