Russell Baker humorously critiques a National Bureau of Standards study that watched 58 women cook for a week to assess energy use. He notes odd findings about burner use and open ovens, then questions the value of such government research. He ends by suggesting more pointless studies, like whether water is wet or if fleas like dogs.
