Just because a specific marketing effort fails doesn't mean that much of marketing isn't based in science.
Based in science and being a science are two different things. If in a rather significant proportion of instances, the theory of gravity didn't work, it would not be a scientific theory.
James Randi famously said that Geller, a fake, could fool those not expecting deception, but would be easily unmasked by a stage magician.
Parapsychology has contributed nothing but null results. The phenomena it purports to investigate have never been unambiguously demonstrated in reproducible fashion. Not much of a science at all, at this point. Contrast it with alchemy, which never transmuted lead to gold, but gave birth to chemistry.
As did anyone who saw Mansquito!
We had some dimwit come on during the graveyard shift claiming a human-animal hybrid had been created. He also used the term 'chimera' incorrectly, using it interchangeably with 'hybrid.'
He didn't think Brownback was out to lunch on this. I told him that if he thinks that, he clearly does not know how to read scientific literature.
i dont think it's a straw man. newton saw an apple fall, and posited a theory of gravity. freud saw some hysterics, and posited a theory of the unconscious. the guy at duke saw some people apparently predicting sequences of cards and posited esp. i just think psychology, particularly in the treatment and psychometic fields, is still full of pseudoscience. i agree to disagree about it.

I found James Randi's 1978 book "The Truth about Uri Geller" at our town library last year. It is fascinating. What's beautiful is how James Randi and Johnny Carson (who was an amateur magician himself) conspired together to keep Uri Geller from being able to do his spoon bending trick on Carson's show by preventing anyone but Carson from having access to the actual spoons Uri Geller was supposed to bend. And because Geller relied on pre-bent spoons that were almost broken, and Carson forced him to use fresh spoons, Geller went into epic fail on national teevee.

Not hard to demonstrate gravity. Newton's great insights were the inverse square law, the calculus, and, above all, the idea that the same gravity that makes apples fall down here makes the moon and the tides and the orbits of the planets up there.
Freud, too, was trying to explain easily observed phenomena, though his work is far less influential at this point.

martin gardner has a good chapter about rhine in one of his books on junk science. bernard zilbergeld wrote a book about the overreaching of the mental health professions in his book "the shrinking of america", which is older (80's) but i think still applies. part of the problem is the way the larger society accepts aspects of psychology as being scientific, because their promoters have credentials. like the guy that ran that training program for resisting interrogation, for delta force guys iirc, who was then put in charge of developing techniques for interrogating people at guantanomo.

psychological therapy, isn't very scientific.
"You haven't been to Walmart, have you? Very few of their prices end in 9. They've built their massive marketing dominance on lower the other numbers."
I've been to hip restaurants that have a number with a slash next to it, too. Doesn't mean that an overwhelmingly disproportionate number of prices don't end in 9, or have 9 as the second to last digit.
We place far more emphasis on the digits to the left than the digits to the right. To our brains, $2.99 communicated "2" more than it communicates "3", even though it's clearly close to $3 than to $2.
It's funny you bring up Walmart, because I'm sure they have thousands of people in their employ whose job it is to wring out as much spending as possible from their customers. Pricing is just one small piece of the puzzle.
Color, scents, lighting, layout, where sale items are placed, the whole concept of a loss leader -- all based on studying human behavior in a scientific fashion.
Freud is not the sum total of psychology, it turns out.
In fact, he's pretty much not psych at all these days.

as it turns out, it is very difficult to measure the success of various treatments. a lot of what are termed successes are self reports, by psychologists or psychiatrists in private practice, and difficult to evalutuate objectively.
Once a patient came to see me with stomach cancer. There's a standard radical gastrectomy, maybe a couple of hours, including the spleen, fatty tissue (omentum), like that. Then there's a radical gastrectomy like they do in Japan, where stomach cancer, rather than rare, is endemic. They take every last node, and the lining behind the stomach, and a few other things, all in one block. They get better results in Japan. But Japanese who come here, and eat the US diet, don't get as much stomach cancer. At the time I had to decide what to do, the only study controlling the two procedures was out of Cape Town, South Africa, on mixed Afrikaans, Xhosa, English and Indian population.
So what was I to do, as a surgeon trying to practice scientifically? I wound up doing the standard operation, and she did fine. But I didn't have the data to know I was doing the right thing.

"If everyone is ending their prices with 9, doing so doesn't achieve anything"
Of course it does. It's not about price differentiation, it's about demand levels. I guarantee that the demand difference from $2.98 to $2.99 is a lot different than the demand difference from $2.99 to $3.00.
According to a 1997 study published in the Marketing Bulletin, approximately 60% of prices in advertising material ended in the digit 9, 30% ended in the digit 5, 7% ended in the digit 0 and the remaining seven digits combined accounted for only slightly over 3% of prices evaluated.
Now that many customers are used to odd pricing, high-end retailers and restaurants such as Nordstrom psychologically-price in even numbers in an attempt to reinforce their brand image of quality and sophistication.

Understood. That's because a deterministic theory of the mind and brain is about at the same stage of development as subatomic physics was in 1,000 B.C.

right.
NTodd: you jog me into the more precise framing that I could not, on the basis of data in my possession, construct an algorithm which would result in a clearly superior/correct course of action. And you raise the question (apologies if I take excessive liberties here) of whether I, by virtue of experience etc., could function successfully without an algorithm...
no im just not convinced by self reports, about something that can't be measured. particularly behavior, when there is no long term followup.
And yet there can be, and is, followup. You're experiencing confirmation bias.
Sorry that humans have long lives, and we can't just put them in a particle accelerator to see what their made of.

but in practice there isn't. what you have are reports that people feel more effective in their personal lives, or more comfortable with their feelings, or what have you. just as you do with religion, or new age stuff.
in order for a particular science to have correct theories with reproduceable results, there has to be a period of time when this science is being practiced before the theories have been developed and perfected, eh?

Walmart does that as a cost-saving measure. The Greeters get lost, can't find the exits, so end up working longer but don't get paid for anything beyond their contracted hours.

I esp. like this from that NPR concern-fest:
The vote raises the question: What has changed in the past three years to bring about the reversal? The conservative wing of the Episcopal Church walked out last month and is creating its own rival church, leaving liberals in the vast majority.
"Walked out"? No.
National leaders of the Episcopal Church have ousted 61 clergy who aligned with a former bishop in California when he broke with the national church in a dispute over the Bible and homosexuality.
Former Bishop John-David Schofield led the Diocese of San Joaquin to become the first full diocese to secede from the U.S. denomination in 2007. Four years earlier, Episcopalians consecrated their first openly gay bishop, setting off a wide-ranging debate within the church and upsetting conservative congregations.
Schofield ultimately was removed as head of the diocese and barred from performing any religious rites. He maintains he is an Anglican bishop under the worldwide church.
Episcopal leaders said Wednesday they were deposing all clergy who severed their ties and joined Schofield in affiliating with an Anglican archdiocese in Argentina.
Jerry Lamb, the new Episcopal Bishop of San Joaquin, called the decision to oust the clergy "heartbreaking."
"But, the fact is, they chose to abandon their relationship with the Episcopal Church," he said.

Is Obama Continuing the Bush/Cheney Assassination Program?
Congress is outraged that Cheney concealed a CIA program to assassinate al Qaeda leaders, but they should also be investigating why Obama is continuing—and expanding—U.S. assassinations.
By Jeremy Scahill
July 14, 2009 "RebelReports" -- In June, CIA Director Leon Panetta allegedly informed members of the House Intelligence Committee of the existence of a secret Bush era program implemented in the days after 9-11 that, until last month, had been hidden from lawmakers. The concealment of the plan, Panetta alleged, happened at the orders of then-Vice President Dick Cheney.
Now, The New York Times is reporting that this secret program that had "been hidden from lawmakers" by Cheney was a plan "to dispatch small teams overseas to kill senior Qaeda terrorists." The Wall Street Journal, which originally reported on the plan, reported that the paramilitary teams were to implement a "2001 presidential legal pronouncement, known as a finding, which authorized the CIA to pursue such efforts."
The plan, the Times says, never was carried out because "Officials at the spy agency over the years ran into myriad logistical, legal and diplomatic obstacles." Instead, the Bush administration "sought an alternative to killing terror suspects with missiles fired from drone aircraft or seizing them overseas and imprisoning them in secret C.I.A. jails."
The House Intelligence Committee is now reportedly preparing an investigation into this program and the Senate may follow suit. "We were kept in the dark. That's something that should never, ever happen again," said Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein. Withholding this information from Congress "is a big problem, because the law is very clear."
There are several important issues raised by this unfolding story. First, while the Times claims the program was never implemented, the program sounds very similar to what Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sy Hersh described in March as an "executive assassination ring" run by Dick Cheney that operated throughout the Bush years:
"Congress has no oversight of it. It's an executive assassination ring essentially, and it's been going on and on and on. Just today in the Times there was a story that its leaders, a three star admiral named [William H.] McRaven, ordered a stop to it because there were so many collateral deaths.
"Under President Bush's authority, they've been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That's been going on, in the name of all of us.
Hersh's description sounds remarkably similar to that offered by the Times and the Wall Street Journal.

Funny ending to article about Utah:
For years, Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. has worked to bring Utah into the mainstream, including efforts to modernize the state's liquor laws.
But his continued push this year has the wildly popular governor going head-to-head with lawmakers who feel he's going too far in a state that prides itself on the lowest percentage of alcohol-related accidents in the country.
Huntsman and the state's $6 billion-a-year tourism industry want to eliminate requirements that customers pay a fee and fill out an application to enter a bar, according to The Associated Press. Utah is the only state in the country with such a law.
While some lawmakers have expressed interest in at least examining such an option, others are proposing even stricter rules.
New Senate President Michael Waddoups, for example, wants alcohol at restaurants hidden away so that children can't see it. The Taylorsville Republican says that even seeing the bottles can entice children to want to drink.
I prefer, "Take me out to the ball game!"

ProfWombat, if you're still here, Maddy's great. All of us had so much fun seeing her.
Mlle is flying to NY tomorrow. She's been trying to break up with the current SO for the past two weeks and he's not buying it. She's also pissed--she said she'd come out for the weekend but wanted the rest of the week to look for work. (She didn't get the job she hoped for.) His parents said they'd pay for her to come out, their rationale being that she's been the only person who ever had a positive influence on him. She and I are both pissed off that she was strong armed into making a five day trip when she wanted the rest of the week to look for work and the weekend to see Maddy and visit friends.
I told her that if she didn't want to go tomorrow, she doesn't have to. And if she wants to come home sooner, we instructed her to go standby.
If that fails, she has two uncles who live less than 100 miles away and a grandfather less than 75.

this pic is also very amazing: Franklin watching over Obama, Durbin, Frank and Dodd.

is that why franklin is gagging???
white with foam...
and then there is the gooper judiciary song:
We talk real funny down here
We drink too much and we laugh too loud
Were too dumb to make it in no northern town
And were keepin the niggers down
We got no-necked oilmen from texas
And good ol boys from tennessee
And colleges men from lsu
Went in dumb - come out dumb too
Hustlin round atlanta in their alligator shoes
Gettin drunk every weekend at the barbecues
And theyre keepin the niggers down
Were rednecks, rednecks
And we dont know our ass from a hole in the ground
Were rednecks, were rednecks
And were keeping the niggers down
hm. I think later might be better than sooner all of a sudden...
Ah, that's better. I was afraid for a minute I was KILLFILED!

LESS THAN IMPRESSIVE
I've started a spreadsheet with ridiculous ReNAMBLAcan predictions; I already have auggie's prediction that the GOP will pick up 25+ seats in 2010.
Got one I can record for your silly ass?

Dang, there's a skunk walkin' by outside.
Keep walkin'.
SOTOMAYER WAS CHOPPING BUT NO CHIPS WERE FLYING ALL DAY LONG. LESS THAN IMPRESSIVE
You're delusional. Only thing flying around the room were your Repig monkeys, who did more damage to themselves today than McCain and Palin and all the adulterers in your party put together, since the inaugeration.
you need a hobby.
I have one: Rubbing your face in it, every day.
