Wouldn't Cathleen's argument also apply to the relationship between smoking and cancer, given that one cannot predict with certainty that any given smoker will in fact come down with lung cancer?

There is also an assumption that there is science to 'prove' this when there is not. I would very much like to see the brief you mentioned in one of your earlier posts. If you can send it to me or point me to it somewhere, I would like to read it. I am open to being educated and proven wrong. Cathleen A. Mann, Ph.D 1880 S.

Your persistence in making that argument is off-point. In any event, there are a lot of MDs and PhDs out there at Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc., etc., that would find your blanket attacks on the studies regarding the effects of abuse very odd and unsupportable.
