 What do you know. That was it. The difference in $R^2$ is huge!

 ## Interpret some results  
 
 The issues above notwithstanding, we can march ahead and interpret the results of the original model that I fit. Here are some general comments and some specifically focused on the `cond_new` and `stock_photo` variables:
