I know what you mean, MtheGM.

I decided to try Janie's second link (see first post.) Even Harvard can do better than that.

First, we have a manipulative video of a man stuttering and stumbling to express I-don't-know-what. It seems to me that even if he stutters, he could have the consideration to organize his thoughts a bit and have something ready to say.

I began to wonder if this was a trick site that was gonna test my aversion to speech problems.

Suddenly we shift to an academic conference with a blurry image and a speaker so ill-trained and uninterested that it could have been a parody of a conference, on The Onion, perhaps. I clicked off after a few words.

If these people have something to say, that have got to start saying it better than that.

Jack and Stim, I agree with your remarks about the testing process.
