Back to the Drawing Board

So after all these years all this time making it up to the end of this journey, I discover that I've made a mistake in the selection of my tool. One that renders the entire study invalid if I continue. Why was this not discovered, why was this not caught, who is supposed to be guiding me on this journey? I'm filing a formal complaint but ethically I can't continue in the same manner as before. So, to start the dissertation over? Ugh, that's vicious and I'm definitely not looking forward to it at all but I've spent alot of time and money. My next mission will be to skew my study which meets the proper requirements...eh, we will see...
