Yeah, because I keep seeing it just like dismissed as pseudoscience, but then there were plenty of early studies that were done by legitimate industrial psychologists and other like efficiency experts, that kind of thing, that showed that there really was a significant like improvement in productivity or less sick days, that kind of stuff in places that have Muzak compared to places that didn't have Muzak pumped into the office.

I got you. But so one thing to say about this, we're going to talk about it in a second, stimulus progression, is that they did kind of plow money that they were making –

who were making a lot of money starting in the late 40s, early 50s, they plowed it back into research to basically come up with scientific evidence to back up their claims, which you can really kind of see the ghost of George Square still looming over the company, you know, this decade or so after he died. It's always been this kind of,

Yeah, I think World War II is basically cited as the moment when Muzak kind of proved itself enough at least to start being adopted by very large companies. And then within a few years after the war, by like the very early 50s, they started to spread more and more to even smaller and smaller companies.
