At the time, Lisa Hsu is a doctoral student on the job market, and she's presenting this work. And how concerned were you about damaging her prospects? I was very concerned that if I dropped off the paper, that there's something suspicious about Lisa's job. So I keep on asking questions, but I don't withdraw.

And by early 2012, I'm attending a conference, and I arrive at the conference, and in the big hallway, I run into Lisa, who's my advisee, my friend, my co-author, somebody who I like a lot. And she's with Nina Mazar, who I had never met before. So Lisa introduces us, and I believe I was expressing my unhappiness with the lack of clarity on this mileage issue.

Okay, so when we asked... Ariely to join forces, he said, fine, but Nina would be part of the project as well. So I always thought she was part of the insurance study.

Yeah, exactly. So she basically pleasantly and openly pulled up the database on her computer, And I said, so what's going on? And she said, I think what's going on is that we don't know that the period between time one and time two for assessing the number of miles driven was one year. We know when time two was collected, but it may have been more than one year for when time one was collected.
