The study, however, leaves us with yet another question of this sort: why do boys appear to read so poorly? We clearly can't ascribe it to social inequality, but that doesn't mean it isn't due to some other social factor. This is just stupid. The study (or any other I've ever seen) as described offers no such clarity. My reaction to any such study that offers such grand social pronouncements is extreme skepticism. For once, I'd like to read an article about a study that only concludes what the statistics in the study will actually support, and nothing more.
