Jones and Yarhouse's effort did not provide much better evidence, Burroway said. "This study held great promise based on its initial design, but its conduct left much to be desired," he wrote. "Its rigorous design was not matched by similar rigor in execution. And so we're still left waiting for that definitive breakthrough ex-gay study. I don't think this one is it."

Burroway particularly criticized the study's lack of attention to what may have motivated the large number of dropouts -- many of whom, he hypothesized, may have dropped out because they embraced their homosexuality and wanted nothing more to do with Exodus or the study.

Well, big fat duh! You think?  ::)
Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,
'cause either way you're screwed,
eventually you'll find
you may as well feel good;
you may as well have some pride
