"My
[animal] research had only shown an already known
phenomenon... it was
completely useless because the conditions under which
the animals were
studied didn't correspond to the human condition to
which I considered
applying the result..." Dr. Roger E. Ulrich, American
behaviorist
psychologist, former animal experimenter
