To be honest it would be a lot more convincing if someone had done a
study and published the results of it, rather than just linking to
opinions.  I was rather hopeful that Neilsen-Norman would have done a
study, but they don't publish their results (or rather, you have to
pay lots of $$$ to read them).

Science.  It works.  Appeal to Authority ... more suspect.
