The article you linked said nothing about the validity to the actual studies. Just that one of the researchers was essentially stealing grant money. That would be like saying that the Theory of DNA structure is invalid because Watson liked to fondle sheep.
And just to defuse this argument before it starts, the one about what constitutes are, ask yourself this. If you were a (probably digital) archaeologist looking back to the mid 20th to early 21st century from 500 years in the future, do you think you would learn about our culture from Band of Brothers, From the Earth to the Moon, The Godfather, and GTA 4, or from a bunch of Pollock paintings?
Since most soft copies of media such as movies and video games will be unusable in 500 years, I would place my money on Jackson Pollock; unless someone backs up GTA 4 on a gold platter with a PS3 emulator.

I agree with the other poster. BP can't raise rates without being at a disadvantage with its competition.
