8 July 2008: I (FZ) have made a number of corrections to the English in this article, and believe that it reads better now. I also changed the last sentence, because, as it was, it didn't make much sense. I hope that this is what you wanted to say, however. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.21.132.175 (talk) 14:18, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Matching Law

This makes it sound like BA was a force in the discovery of the matching law. The matching law (1961) predates BA and I don't know if it had anything to do with Baum's modified version either. I think both Ferster and Baum were added post-hoc afaik. If there are no complaints I am going to change this accordingly RSN. Michaelrayw2 (talk) 18:35, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification?
