Perhaps some people feel that reading is superior as hold-over from the days when the upper class were the only ones who could afford books? Reading an unengaging book is no different from watching an unengaging tv show. But hey, let's spout research that was performed in 1969 and never duplicated.

Shrug. I suggest that people read up if they like, then make up their own minds. I don't pretend to have anything more than an opinion about science that I can't verify on my own. That's why I don't try to convince people. I also mentioned several posts ago that the research is dated and that I'd like to see an update. But huff away if you like. I'm here for entertainment.
