Not quite sure what's happening with the votes on this post, with some up and some down votes.

In case it wasn't clear: several US universities took nude "posture photographs" of most people who attended, and did so for decades. They took the photos in the name of science, but that science was probably junk.

That feels worse than an unofficial email list asking people what colour underwear they have on before accepting their post.

Hey I voted you up. I really enjoyed the article and came back to upvote for that. My initial knee jerk reaction to your post was that it's slightly besides the point -- an interesting aside but somewhat off topic for the post. I suppose that could be why you were getting downvoted. Anyway it's super interesting, thanks for sharing
