Maybe more "pious" people tend to be part of tighter-knit families and wish to spend as much time with their loved ones as possible.
Absolutely correlation not causation in this guessing-game of a "study".
I agree whole-heartedly that this is unacceptable, but I hope that, should her ticket take this election, she takes with her a sense of the value of personal privacy. Having been on the receiving end of an invasion of privacy, maybe the old "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about" adage won't hold as much water as an argument for warrantless domestic spying policies that seem to be so acceptable to our current VP... Maybe, just maybe, this experience will give her pause for future legislation.
you can pass any exam without really knowing 'everything', let alone 'understanding' it.
*ANY* Exam!? Not likely. A professor I had repeatedly throughout my 4 years of school (intro to programming, advanced data structures, software engineering II) would hand out several sheets of blank paper. Write a solution for $PROBLEM in valid C++ Code would be all that each sheet would say. Hand writing working solutions with a pencil would be a hard thing to fake as evidenced by her washing out of the intro to programming class from 26 students in the first semester to just three of us in the second semester. We were marked off for poorly indented code, missing semi-colons, or any other syntactically incorrect "code" that we hand-wrote.
As long as we are all capable of passing any exam thrown at us without knowing or understanding what it is we are being tested on, lets all run out and pass the bar, get our medical licenses, sell real estate, and be cisco certified and become true modern renaissance men/women.
