    In order to ensure honest responses, the researchers not only followed standard protocols regarding anonymity and confidentiality, but also required both friends to agree—verbally, and in front of each other—to refrain from discussing the study, even after they had left the testing facility.

I'm sure that worked.

It would have been nice to have some statistics. In some of those statements, you don't know if the findings were 53/47 or 83/17. But this pretty much fits what we know about primate behavior in general, right?
