True, but to denigrate ages old rules of civilized society as "taboo" because some statistician did a superficial analysis of first generation risks is also wrong.
One of the reasons we as humans have survived to crawl out of the caves and rule the world is because until recently we have stuck to the rules of society (religious or otherwise) that result in the most successful civilizations. Time and time again, conservative and biblical rules that govern people who lived together as a society have proven to be the most effective path to stability, peace, harmony, and growth.
