> Science is a tool for explaining what we observe. There is almost always more than one plausible explantion for any observation, and so it’s the job of the scientist to pit these against each other and see which comes out on top.

That is such a crude way to go about things.

It's been suggested before that there are larger influences from society on how men and women should act and live their lives. I still believe that. I don't think we've made a lot of progress on gender issues. A lot of them still lurk under the surface and the PC culture shields them and prevents discovery and resolution.
