As befits the many years of research invested in this project (thousands of well-spent sponsor dollars), this list has generated much scholarly discussion and debate. Many MIT researchers, in particular, felt compelled to debug it for accuracy and precision, with the ostensible aim of making it more accurately and precisely humorous.
