There needs to be far more critical questioning of assumptions under
the too-commmon, naive acceptance of the function of Caller ID trials,
including the easy-out/quick=fix/plug-hole-in-dike they seem to offer
to regulators willing to approve such trials. The cart's at too much
distance from the horse.
