This verion is fine, clear and straight forward. The best that I have 
read and it gets rid of the legalese subtleness that others try to put

People often think of research as a form of development -- that it's 
about doing exactly what you planned, doing it on time, and doing it 
with resources that you said you'd use.  But if you're going to do 
that, you have to know what you are doing, and if you know what you 
are doing, it isn't really research."
