— Founding conviction of the Institute
The Amalgamated Institutes are a federation of specialist bodies united by a simple proposition: that the value of advice is not measured by its length. Each Institute reviews the literature of its field in its entirety, retains what survives scrutiny, and publishes the remainder — however brief the remainder proves to be.
The Institutes maintain no offices, accept no funding from industry, and publish their findings only when they are complete.
The Institute for Advanced Dietary Studies — whose first finding, The Principles of Weight Loss, is one sentence long, and is supported by forty-two genuine references catalogued on the Research page for public inspection.
The Institute for Advanced Somnological Studies — whose findings, while brief, must not be rushed.
The Institute for Advanced Concentration Studies — which asks not to be disturbed.
The Institute for Advanced Temperance Studies — which will publish in due course, in moderation.
Nothing published by the Institutes constitutes medical advice. Readers with medical conditions are directed, sincerely, to their physicians.
