IIRC the article cited in her book was actually a study of a dyslexic disorder believed to be inherited on the Y chromosome. The figure comes from the 'males' (the test subjects) and the 'females' (the control) and has no relevance in reality. The reason the researches used females as a control so that there wasn't a risk of contamination in the control (IE an undiagnosed case of the disease). At least that's the extent of the research I remember doing, my sociology teacher in college made every student track down the citation (which I believe itself was a study citing another's research) to show us the fallacies created when people have a political motive behind their 'scientific' statements. I'm a writer and I admit I rarely talk, but when I do I'll blow anyone out of the water with quantity of words and vocabulary.
