I don’t find them exceptional. I think there is a lack of overall experience with humans of all sorts with these lab results. Why don’t they try real life experience? Every man is not a spatial talent. I’m sorry. I have seen too much to think that.

I don't think the studies are trying to make that point. They aren't saying that every man is superior to every woman when it comes to spatial abilities; only that men (as a whole) tend to be better at spatial tasks than women (as a whole).

Suppose I made the statement, "thin people are usually faster than obese people." I'm not saying that every thin person is fast, or that every obese person is slow. And pointing out examples of skinny slowpokes or speedy fat guys wouldn't disprove my statement.
