The brief is filled with interesting data, much of which is instructive and eye-opening. The feedback is detailed, so let's dig into a bit of it — pardon my recipe reading, but staying through the end may be a lot like getting to sample your mother's cookie batter before she threw the bowl in the sink for washing.
