This is getting *way* off topic ... but why does using RStudio help with 
the irreproducibility problem?  I thought that RStudio just made it 
easier to point-and-click.  For those who like doing that sort of thing.
(I tend to believe the dictum that a GUI makes it easy to do easy things 
and impossible to do hard things.)
