But what Hugh has done as open the door to the argument. Before Hugh's report it was always dismissed as unrealistic - but Hugh's report has started the entire industry talking. Hugh's report was the main topic of conversation at LTUE this past weekend among both SP and Trad representatives, for example.
I know of more people repeating what he did, getting better data, and going deeper. Until Hugh's report hits no one was really looking this deep. Time will tell if this is just an up surge in promise or, as Hugh publically stated he hope, the begin of better data coming out.
You may not see, or may not agree, but IMO, Hugh's report - flawed as it is (and as he stated many times over both in the report and interviews since then), has kicked off the conversation in a way that has not happened before, and needed to happen.
In the coming months, if all the people who are stating conducting their own research actually do it, we will have real numbers and real information to base decisions on. Time will tell.
