Unsatisfying

I'm reading an article on spatial analysis of physician access in DC. Fascinating methodologically - I love articles that carefully stack up sentences and layers of meaning into an elegantly constructed wall of logic - but at the end of the day, their conclusion is that SE is underserved. No! God, what a... not surprise. Of course empirical observations of things we intuitively suspect are valuable, but I feel like I'm reading a mystery story and finding out that yup, the butler did it.
