When research is done, there usually is a margin of error. None of what I say is my opinion but based on studies that I mention.
Don't know why Im getting downvoted.
For the record, I had no part in that research nor participated (its like decades old btw) so please don't ask further questions or disagrements or personal anecdotes. I just shared some pointers for people who are interested to learn more about this. Im not there representative in any way shape or form
I didn't down vote you, and I wouldn't take it personally.
I was just offering the typical anecdotal experience challenging misconception. This is probably worth less than good research.
