Ditto. These are this year's rules (8 versus 6). Toss in two more at 5% each. Won't hurt overall performance much and is an interesting way to stretch your imagination. (Err, develop a new area of expertise to research thoroughly.)

OT, IIRC, it concerns some that the new DSM-V, which defines what is a psychological/drug-able "disease" (i.e., open for medical insurance coverage) now includes “psychosis risk syndrome” in children or young adults, which opens the doors wide for whichever company has the magic pill and sales force to cure all ills before they happen.

Cynical view: Who stands to benefit most from this change?
