As much as I'd love to go in on the methods, types of subjects, error bars, the flaws in design, sample size, the danger of over-applying and over-generalization, or assuming that a group tendency necessarily applies to every single person in that group... how correlations are also not the same as causation, etc, etc, ad nauseam, ad infinitum,
