[QUOTE="jejeffrries71, post: 5236713, member: 17082"] I'm sure. They are very opportunistic. I just despise misuse of statistics. Most studies, and statistics are just summarized raw data, or a snapshot, nothing more. Without strenuous additional research and testing, you can not take a data summary or data sample and then extrapolate to cause, effect, ... You can use it to develop a theory and then do the additional work to support or disprove that theory, but anything else is pretty much on the same level as guessing. Often it is worse than guessing as it is used to support a pre-conceived notion or a pet belief. Sort of like if the data tells us that a majority of pot-bellied white Southern males voted Republican in the last election, that does not support that voting Republican makes Southern white males to be pot-bellied.
