STUDIES PROVE NOTHING.
Who processed the data and how?
What data was used?
How was it collected?
Was it Faulty?
Was it misinterpreted or is it being misrepresented?

Since we do not know the answers to these questions the study is worthless.

Thomas Sowell discusses the problem you and I are addressing masterfully, with examples.
Most of the tricks used by the "live by grants" crowd are discussed:

STUDIES PROVE

STUDIES PROVE II

STUDIES PROVE III

STUDIES PROVE NOTHING.

Oh, really?

So, that's why we are so OBVIOUSLY devoid of all the benefits of said PROVE-NOTHING-STUDIES and all still running around in very soiled breach-cloths hunting, gathering and grunting barely intelligbly.

Perfectly clear.

DENIAL IS NOT A GOOD SURVIVAL HABIT.
