It's not even just that he's ignoring the project. The project doesn't make any sense to begin with. He has one monkey; I mean, a test sample of one is bad enough, but he doesn't even have a control. He's doing the project in his own home, which is the opposite of a controlled environment. The fact that he changes location midway through the project confounds things a lot; the monkey could just be acting out because of that. Also, what is he measuring? I mean he shows the monkey some TV violence and--what? Just watches what it does? Short of a fantastic freakout of the kind that actually occurs (which, granted, doesn't really seem to bother him that much, but does seem to surprise him), what was he expecting to write about?
I'm sorry. I've just given this a lot of thought. :)
