		<description>SOME POINTS TO CONSIDER:

What&#039;s research anyway?
What&#039;s Industrial Research and Applied Research?
Is Development not part of Research&amp;Development?

THEN:
whats the purpose of gathering the data?
what&#039;s the objective of the particular organisation interpreting the data?
what&#039;s the skill/slant/bias of the person representing the organisation (whether independent or not)?

It&#039;s all based on the imperfect system involving people. 

Everything is sales.

&quot;We don&#039;t complain about the ref if he gives the decision our way&quot; - ??</description>
