None of the articles on this subject so far has contained a single
documented fact.  They are full of phrases like "I heard" or "they say"
or "everyone knows".

A popular children's game is called "Telephone".  One player thinks up
a phrase and whispers it to the next, who whispers it to the next,
and so on.  What comes out at the end bears little resemblance to what
went in at the beginning, even when all parties are trying to reproduce
what they have heard as faithfully as possible.

I think, therefore, that I am not out of place in pleading with people
who make apparently factual assertions about emotional issues to
state their sources.
