The statements of purpose, justification, procedure, and conclusion in Fusaro's research report were evaluated as to their realism, logic, and justifiable inferences. The structure and contributions of the three studies on which it was based were also examined. Available evidence indicates that Fusaro's study was not based on a realistic expectation that certain knowledge ought to be presented among the subjects, the procedure was not logically consistent, and aspects of universality were unjustifiably inferred in the statements of purpose, instructions to the subjects, and conclusion statements. Consequently, it cannot be regarded as a useful contribution to the science of reading instruction.
