    You've got it wrong

    The point of this study wasn't to discover anything about marriage or couples or anything like that. The point was to discover two things:

    1. How many idiots would agree to endure blisters for no good reason;

    2. How many silly journalists would write a story about a "scientific" study that proves nothing except there are a certain number of idiots who will willingly endure blisters for no good reason.

    Mission accomplished.
