I never claimed to be unbiased.  I claimed that the results are consistent
with my belief.  A statistically insignificant test proves nothing.  If
you do not expect a positive result, it lets you go on not expecting a
positive result.  But don't use that test to back up your argument; it is
irrelevant.
