While this is not the topic of this thread, maybe it should be the
topic of another one ... Since when is mentioning a correlation that
has been perceived by individual people and backed up by only a few
decades of research (with of course many other variables involved as
well) offensive, especially when John phrased it as a hypothesis
(using "may")? I am not even saying he's right or wrong (because I
don't have any data on this myself), but I am concerned that the
overall PC gagging order does not even allow his type of stating a
possibility anymore ...
