You have no doubt read KarinCa and many other posts re how long and complex it is to prepare and analyze data. Are you disregarding all of that and still maintain that the 2b failed? Based on what? Have you ever gone into the journals to review completed research, i.e. data that has been scrubbed, statistical tests chosen, completed, maybe scrapped and then recut, presented in so many different ways. Maybe you should try and get through some. It takes a while and as noted, we are not talking about a huge staff. Doing the statistical analyses is easy, mostly automate after it has been entered (in itself not so easy), the rest is not.
