Have you ever heard of
Skinner&#39;s pigeon experiments?


The idea was, if pigeons were rewarded with a food pellet for a certain behavior, they could be trained to do that behavior. 


But what would happen if food pellets were given at random intervals?  The pigeons would *think* they were being rewarded for something, but they weren&#39;t.

			<description><![CDATA[ Two tests I use:
<br>
<br>
If you applied the criticism to the movie/book/game in question, would it really be an improvement?
<br>
<br>
Is it more fun to read the criticism than it is to watch the movie/read the book/play the game? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well, duh, but what they mean is that they only want RPG music if it&#39;s like Ys music (ie, rock instead of epic/fantasy). I&#39;ve said it before and
I&#39;ll say it again, Ys music fanboys (note: <em>fanboys</em>, not just any ordinary fans) are the most annoying of all game music fanboys I&#39;ve dealt
with.
<br>
<br>
The worst part about them is that you might think, well, they&#39;re fanboys, but at least they have good taste in soundtracks, but then they&#39;ll pick the
most mediocre... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ John Solomon has complained about webcomic authors not accepting criticism. The problem with the internet, though, is figuring out what criticism is valid and
what isn&#39;t. I know I don&#39;t take too well to criticism myself, but that&#39;s because I almost never get anything that could possibly be useful. All I
