Vaidurya400 karma

Big fan, but I won't go off on that. Had to ask a question while I have the opportunity, and this is the best thing I can think of at the moment (a bit star-struck, I guess).

What is the main driving point behind why you do what you do? Is it the questions, the answers, the puzzling over how to best test a hypothesis, .. I guess what I'm trying to ask is what is the most satisfying point of being a Mythbuster(Engineer? Mechanical Philosopher?) in your opinion?

Vaidurya9 karma

Oddly enough, in your cited link, there's this bit before the conclusion:

Given that the rodent is one of the largest orders of mammals (APOPO, 2003) with many species of rats, more studies should be conducted before generalizing the abilities of the rats that have been studies [sic] to other species.

And the first/primary source for that study is APOPO.
