You really can't help yourself, huh, Brent. What's a preformed mind?

Sure there's lots of data out there, but I'm still unclear. Where's the Eagle time/abrasion charts for lead shot in a gizzard? Are any adjustments made for gizzard size, tone and acid production? Is there an optimum lead shot size efficacy study for one vs. two pellets? Is there any correlation with velocity of the pellet/pellets at the time of intake?

I have read the data that a high percentage of Iowa newborns have an elevated lead blood level. Having missing or certainly underdeveloped gizzards at the time of birth, do human babies have access to a source of lead that birds do not? Never mind, I read up on that, you should read up the agendas that results from selective reading.
