Comments:Dairy cattle with names produce more milk, according to new study

What a misleading title. The "study" asserts that cows produce more milk when given a lot of attention -- this doesn't necessarily have anything to do with naming them. This seems pretty pseudoscientific, anyway. It may be more incidental than correlative. 74.242.102.193 20:57, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I smell an Ig Nobel in the works for these researchers. Chris Mann (Say hi!|Stalk me!) 00:06, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Somethings missing about cow tipping!
Article does not make clear why certain cows have magnetic orientation and resist cow tipping.

Misleading...
It doesn't seem that the study claims to have established the naming of a cow as a *cause* of higher milk production, but simply a *correlation* between more milk and names. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation

Although this may raise some very interesting questions about links between animal health and psychological states, it frankly doesn't seem very scientific.
