But we can't even afford a proper study because of cost considerations - for
edu skipping 30 percent of the install base makes the results pretty
incomplete IMO.

And lets look at skill sets.  Are any of us usability experts?  User
interface/human interface design experts?

Not trying to shoot the project down, but I think they are valid criticisms.
