I assume that the authors of the paper want to change minds; if so, they should have titled and approached this topic differently. Research shows pretty conclusively people don&#x27;t change their minds when directly confronted with a conclusion contrary to their preferred one.<p>Instead, I would suggest titles like &quot;How much productive work does the government subsidize for welfare recipients?&quot; with the surprising answer inside. Or even &quot;An analysis of lazy welfare recipients&quot; if they&#x27;re willing to take backlash from more social-aid minded colleagues who only read the title.
