I suspect there are some whopping economies of scale to be had here, though. This was a one-off and prototypes do tend to be expensive. BTW, I'll bet 2/3 the cost was that military-grade omnidirectional treadmill. Mass-produce that and you'

I don't think the premise is bad, but we're pretty good about separating REAL consequences from contrived ones. Example: Several years ago, I put a $100 bill in five different envelopes (w/ no return address)... all addressed to a guy I rea

Don't want to be a stats-nazi, but I wonder if 66 is an adequate sample size when respondants are self-selected (as opposed to random). (66 respondants can be deduced by finding the highest common denominator in all the response percentages
