No really, no. Note that the text says "first born", not "only child". That 0.36 percentage point difference is covering so many combinations it's effectively meaningless, and any opining about the "why" of what is essentially an error value is not just equally meaningless, but actively damaging, because it convinces you that there is something that needs explaining and can be taught to others, lending credence and validity to an incredible, invalid line of reasoning.
- username90 6y agoA couple of percent of girls gets sexually harassed by their biological dads, that is more than enough to believably explain the discrepancy in divorce. The fact that it only happens when the girls reaches puberty reinforces my interpretation. The researchers in this study didn't research why the difference exists, so my interpretation is as good as theirs.
- TheRealPomax 6y agoNo, it isn't, and now you're wilfully ignoring the paper's findings to put forth your own unsubstantiated claim pretending it is just as valid as statistically backed research. It's just something you told yourself and now you're pretending your own conviction deserves equal standing. Which it does not.
