Done
I work for a legal* publisher (previously worked for MORI* too, what strange intersection) and in our library at the publishers, there's an hilarious 'Professional’ title you may like to glance at: Buy-ology (sic) Lindstrum, Martin. I read it back in November after curiosity got the better of me whilst looking for Civil Procedure Rules.
It's worth a glance for some hilaaaarious background. The self-aggrandising author is basically a marketing twonk (see Bill Hicks) who thinks MRI is some kind of panacea or a means of substantiating his miserable work.
P.S. I may have been misled by Q3. P4. As I only clicked one radio button seeing them as potentially mutually exclusive options. Is that right or wrong of me?

Ha ha ha. I have seen that book, but never read it. Don't think I'm missing too much. MRI is like any field of science. There's loads of really good stuff going on in both clinical and resarch fields, but there are mega-canards of quackery going on as well. That book probably rates in the deci-canard range.

Deci-canard. Nice one. Quite right you're not missing much, I just thought I’d mention as even though it's not my field, it made me shudder deeply.
If it wasn't there on the shelf to grab at work I wouldn't have bothered. The 'bibliography' is just pitiful, it's laid out prosaically to make pad it out. Jesus! That's sixth form nonsense.
Is it really too much by way of eye damage to knowingly read such a thing ironically? Am I too perverse in that sense?
