"It's ok to learn about this subject, but stay objective. Keep track of the readings and what they are suppose to mean. Then track and record the results."

It's a takeoff on science and should always be used in any situation. When my boys would bring home a new friend I would listen and observe behavior of everyone while the new friend was in my home I would warn them as needed and tell them why. They had to listen to me, just once, no nagging, and make up their own mind. All of the new friends disappeared within a week or two.
