Refreshing to see some research on how it really got started.

The breathless feigned shock that Comey would share "86 47" is tiresome, especially coming from an administration whose head unrepentantly shared an image of the president bound and tied mid-kidnapping.

Is this readable for free anywhere?

If you like me have grown weary of trick headlines that in no way portray the words they are written with, you will be relieved to know this is not one of them.

It’s a quick read that tickles the mammalian foraging behavior itch that is manifest by our insatiable desire for novelty.

My only complaint is that more research has not been done on this most important of esoteric subjects.
