- ferbivore 11y agoThe article you posted seems to be a summary of the findings (as well as a poorly-concealed advert for a book) and doesn't mention any methodological flaws. Am I missing something?

Right or wrong as a moral or professional practice, this was incredibly common in the 20th Century, and if that implicated bad science, we'd have to discard quite a lot of it. Also, it's hard to see how sleeping together would cause them to do bad science.
