    Still doesn’t look like anything definitive. Words like may and could are littered throughout the article. It looks like the main evidence was a questionnaire.

      You do know that honest science rarely makes definitive statements, right? It may be a spurious correlation, but the next most likely explanation is that all the men lied about their results in a way that perfectly mimicked the expected results, and they did so without any coordination, and over the course of years. Or it’s just a massive coincidence that is only true of those men.
