The large majority of such information, including all that was reported in Table 34,
was gathered by one individual, between 1917 and 1948, and documented by him.
He died before Kinsey.

Thanks for the link.
Even if Reisman's allegations are just "much sound and fury, signifying nothing"
I do find the sentence above very curious.

If the data was gathered by one person, who gathered it over a defined time period
AND the person died before Kinsey...why don't we know the name of this individual?

This sort of "interpersonal communication" in today's peer reviewed publications
(at least in the physical sciences) would raise lots of questions and demands for further
supporting documentation.

I'm not saying Reisman is on the right track...but something about this lack
of transparency, especially shielding the identity of a contributor of significant
data for publication years after the death of both the contributor and the writer
(Kinsey et al.) doesn't feel right.

If a block of important data such as this was similarly shielded in the physical
sciences, there would be a loud protest of "what are they hiding?".

I'm not saying the data may not have been valid, but if we never can have the identity
of the contributor (Kinsey probably took that with him to his grave)
or access to some of the source material...I can see how some skeptics might
just say "this could have been made up out of thin air".
