title: Of science and salesmen. Deciphering product research and evaluation.
abstract: Do EMS-product manufacturers follow a code of honor when developing their products? And is the research that supports these products an honest, scientific substantiation of their worth? This article explores the science and "pseudo-science" behind EMS-product manufacturing and discusses the pursuit of profit vs. the need for valid data to support EMS-product choices.
