Scientific American article:

Second, an Odor Judge joined the team. Yes, someone was assigned to assess the odor of dog farts (and although the study does not spell it out, I presume the job was assigned using the highly advanced method of Who Was Out Of The Room When The Decision Was Made). The Odor Judge (who I hope wore a special sash or top hat) whiffed "each flatulence episode and rated the episode on a 1 to 5 scale, where 5 represented an unbearable odor and 1 was noise-only with no odor. A rating of 2 represented a slightly noticeable odor, 3 was a mildly unpleasant odor, and 4 was a bad odor." I give you science.

I want one of those sashes. An Emeritus Sash.

Didn't they used to have farting contests at some villages in medieval Japan, with contestants coming from all over the Empire?

I would not be surprised.
Nor would I be surprised to learn that such universal Guilds were the precursors of many of today's European or American political parties. Naming no names, of course.

My beloved Maddie would rate a 3 on the SBD chart. Never heard one yet, but there's no denying them.

I just hope that this was a well funded govt. research project.

Just about everyone I told about this said the same thing.

Highly unscientific, a 1-5 is way to inaccurate. Need a 1-10 000 scale for total accuracy.

Well, you would certainly know about dog farts.

Well, I literally have no dog in this fight, but it may be useful in determining what to put in and what to leave out of your favourite dog food.
