Now do it for all the other confounding variables. This is why social science is hard and requires a lot of statistical analysis. I'm not making any claims one way or another. All I'm saying is knee-jerk assumptions based on a simplified mental model probably isn't a good idea unless you have the data to back it up. (Especially true on complex systems like human value systems).
