Good point about quoting from the testimonial. Perhaps a combination of linking to it and quoting from it would be best, since this workbook will come out as an e-book. Appreciate the suggestion!
Agreed that Gorbachev's statement is not "proof" as such - it is weak evidence, but all that is available. Case study evidence is also evidence, even if weak. I'll make a note of that in the workbook, highlighting that it is weak evidence.
Good point about the exercises. I'll look for appropriate research to reference there. Thank you!
There's a difference between poltiical writing and independent case studies.
Even if Gorbachev did honestly believe the techniques worked, he might have gotten political power because he believed them to be good in an enviroment where most people considered them ineffective. He also doesn't had a good opportunity to compare.
