[R] readRDS problem

[Michael Dewey]

You need to do
help("<-")
for a full explanation but in brief when you do <- it assigns locally 
and since it could not find data locally it makes it for you but when 
you do <<- it tries its very best to find data somewhere. Since data is 
the name of a function which the authors of R have locked it fails.
