I came across this interesting paper by Megan Stevenson which I am still reading. Even after a few pages it has really piqued my interest since I have definitely harbored what she calls an "engineer's view" that we can do sociological randomized control trials with people to test public policy.

I have a feeling this is going to trigger a lot of introspection on my thoughts about this until now...
