I had assumed that maybe there might be a larger study of the hypothesis than just an interview with Ellen Degeneras. I don't know that I would feel comfortable accepting the hypothesis as true just because of her example, even if she were to tell me that she believes it's true.
Like I say, if what you're suggesting is true, then we would be a long way toward a solution to a very, very old issue. I think a study might be in order.
Love your tagline, BTW. ;-)
