181) The citizens of Forsythe have adopted healthier lifestyles. Their responses to a
recent survey show that in their eating habits they conform more closely to government
nutritional recommendations than they did ten years ago. Furthermore, there has been a
fourfold increase in sales of food products containing kiran, a substance that a scientific
study has shown reduces cholesterol. This trend is also evident in reduced sales of sulia,
a food that few of the healthiest citizens regularly eat.

182) Humans arrived in the Kaliko Islands about 7,000 years ago, and within 3,000
years most of the large mammal species that had lived in the forests of the Kaliko
Islands had become extinct. Yet humans cannot have been a factor in the species'
extinctions, because there is no evidence that the humans had any significant contact
with the mammals. Further, archaeologists have discovered numerous sites where the
bones of fish had been discarded, but they found no such areas containing the bones of
large mammals, so the humans cannot have hunted the mammals. Therefore, some
climate change or other environmental factor must have caused the species' extinctions.

183) The following appeared in a newspaper feature story.
"At the small, nonprofit hospital in the town of Saluda, the average length of a patient's
stay is two days; at the large, for-profit hospital in the nearby city of Megaville, the
average patient stay is six days. Also, the cure rate among patients in the Saluda hospital
is about twice that of the Megaville hospital. The Saluda hospital has more employees
per patient than the hospital in Megaville, and there are few complaints about service at
the local hospital. Such data indicate that treatment in smaller, nonprofit hospitals is
more economical and of better quality than treatment in larger, for-profit hospitals."
