Dear List,
What is going on in the bold section of the adverb clause below? Specifically, how are the two clauses related to each other? 
Also, how would you explain the "would it?" part of the sentence?
If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?  (attributed to Albert Einstein)
Thanks,
Scott Woods
