The results of important academic research might have been lost as well. The response from Clayton Cramer is probably not relevant, but if have erred by including something that subsequently deserves a rebuttal, then it seems that I should let the flavor of the rebuttal through.

Unemployment can be reduced by reducing the work week.
Unemployment is a major problem.
