::::I am concerned by the inference of the people running the test, and your own comments, that the Napoleon complex is somehow endemic of all people with short stature and can therefore be easily measured by taking a sample size of 10 people. Nowhere does the article imply that is the case and I take a certain amount of personal offense in trying to make it claim such. [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 13:03, 27 May 2007 (EDT)

::::: I didn't assert that it would be endemic of all short people merely that it should bring up the average. SO if 10 isn't a large enough sample size, what would be a large enough sample in your view? 100? 1000? Note also that if you argue that only a small fraction of short people have a Napoleon complex and most overcompensate in the other direction, then what study would you want to have done? Maybe see if for a large sample there are more short people on the very agressive end than one would expect from a bellcurve distribution? [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 16:21, 27 May 2007 (EDT)
