I am more than familiar with studies. At work I have read and critiqued many studies, some so far fetched that you can’t believe they got someone to fund it. I have seen studies that use data from groups smaller than my immediate family. The fact that it was a published study means nothing. That’s like saying you believe it because you saw it on the internet.
You seem to be confused about passion and knowledge. See, someone can have knowledge about something they are passionate about, and that is why it is all the more upsetting when people post misinformation on the topic. And knowing your stand on abuse issues, I am actually surprised to hear you say any of these things because 1) It is not supported in real life and if you have indeed spent any time with survivors you would know that (based on your insight in other topics) 2) Quoting studies as if that automatically means they are fact is somewhat irresponsible. We can make assumptions from studies, but that does not create facts.
You are welcome to use literature to drive your decisions, but everything I have seen in real life has proven them wrong on this. So therefore, I will chose not to. As I do when I encounter any study that doesn’t shtim with what is really out there. Professionals do it all the time. regardless of their passions.
