Cacophonie

Science is about observing and deducing.
CONTEXT: The toilets in our new institute are sufficiently hear-through to allow, sitting on one, establishing statistics for the other.
RESULTS: With N>50, I now report that only about 5 % (+/- 2 %) of all toilet visitors wash their hands after usage.
CONCLUSION: While this explains with good confidence the impressive recurrence and spread of gastro-enteritis infections in our institute, further studies are needed to link this behaviour with the reputation of French citizens to be scruffy.
