Almost-universal formula

OxfordBrookesU1.jpegConsider the following statement, which appears in a June 2, 2006 BBC report:

“As psychologist Ilona Boniwell of Oxford Brookes University points out in her article, the formula fails to take account of contentment.”

Why is the statement remarkable? Because it can be applied to nearly every formula, mathematical or otherwise.

(Thanks to investigator Scott Langill for bringing the report to our attention.)
