12. That doesn't diminish the value of the report.

Nearly all surveys and polls are from "self-reports" providing a snap-shot in time. Should respondents be hooked up to lie detectors or something?

No one was claiming anything about ultimate success of the child either, though the author addresses some some of what may be causal impediments in the article. Read the whole thing. It isn't very long.

This issue at hand is dispelling stereotypes so I don't care if this report has "popped up" before.
