Interesting to compare to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screaming_jelly_babies

Without checking the histories, it looks like a case of the lesser
evil principle not being applied. Sure, the tone and style was
incorrect. But by removing that, the details of the experiment itelf
have gone too. Is the current version really "better" and "more
encyclopaedic" than the historical version?
