<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We state a number of things as definitive, when in reality we don’t know whether they are true or not and that is why we want the data. We can have theories that we are seeking
to try and prove or disprove, but we should not be stating them as facts now.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We keep saying “since the last round of delegations”, but the reality is that there still are delegations going on from that last round which has not closed. Can we tie this
to a date certain? Since the opening of the round? Since NCAP Study 1? Something more definitive.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">There was a bunch of subjective language that I have tried to remove. Calling a previously Study as “anecdotal” is not right. Anecdotal is defined as something that is not
necessarily true or reliable and not based on research. While some may believe that, we should not be making such a value statement about NCAP Study 1. I for one think there was reliable research and do believe that NCAP Study 1 is reliable and true. But
just as we shouldn’t call it anecdotal, I am not calling it the be all end all of research.
