Me, a lowly HCI researcher: look at tool that changes how people read complex programs. I will run a 10 person in-lab study. You, the erudite psychologist: I will recruit 65,000 children and see whether 1 + 2*3 is harder than 1+2 *3.

Me: I'm going to see how hard it is for programmers to remember a few variable names. You: I will train a random CMU undergrad for 250 hours over the course of two years. They will memorize more numbers than anyone in recorded history. (Chase & Ericsson, "Skilled Memory" 1980)
