i'd have agreed with this until a couple weeks ago when, looking into the data for the 1st 
time in several months, i saw there has been a newer large study with largely positive 
results.  speaking of ambiguity, the follow-up to the wolfe study found positive 
correleations in some racial subsets, eg asian women if i recall.  as usual, i have no 
references handy.  sorry
