Possibly, but to acknowledge the differences without determining whether or
not they exist (you're talking to a logic and reasoning guy here) puts
communication at risk. Whether you want to believe the studies or not (or
hold your crotch or not, right Geoff?) you still have to do your own leg
work to determine whether it is in fact the case where you work. This is a
mere example of why I hate how people throw studies around like they are
law.
