SUMMARY

The optimal age for puppy cuteness is determined to be around 12 weeks, according to a study referenced in the discussion. Participants express skepticism towards the study's conclusions, particularly regarding potential biases from the author.

The discussion also includes a light-hearted mention of a Russian individual named Popilov, adding a humorous touch to the topic.

While I am skeptical of any study which turns out, according to the author of the study "exactly as I'd hoped it would", I do agree w/ his findings.
 
Sorry to interlope/OT: They had this Russian guy whose last name was actually Popilov. I guess that's why they call (him) Popilov...
