::: Three things. First - I must be missing something. They found that on average, smaller people remain calmer and less agressive than large people. They didn't just stay less agressive but actually had slower heart rates. So on average people who are small show fewer of the traits classically considered to be part of a Napoleon complex. Now, if Napoleon complexes existed we should see that average brought up, yes? Second, how would you test the existence of Napoleon complexs? Third, peer review seemed to agree that this was a decent test of the existence of the complex. Why is your personal opinion somehow enough to overide that, especially when the addition made clear that the research only "suggested" that this might be the case?

::::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)
