The very same study cites critics attacking the scoring system as flawed, socially unwise and unfair to individuals. The study is a mere example of many.
This is a very interesting and ample field of research, and an important debate adds Steve, We felt it would be best to not only summarize these findings in plain English, but also to offer countermeasures and fitting strategies for consumers, whether affected or not, to keep their rates low.
