I have read it several times (the first time with the usual eureka delight)
and in each reading it seems more and more preposterous--so that now I am
simply cautiously ambivilent about the work. Until the "study" is repeated
with modern experimental rigor I am personally quite wary of basing a
worldview on it. And if it _is_ repeated I would put much more stock in the
research if it uses an degenerated omnivore like a pig instead of a cat--at
least if we are going to generalize to humans, the ultimate degenerated
omnivore. ;)
