The QWERTY Effect: How Typing May Shape the Meaning of Words | Wired Science | Wired.com:
Here's what I don't like about studies like this. You can get stats about ANYTHING. I can find out, for example, that in a study group of 100,000 male masturbaters, RIGHT-handed masturbaters gained more weight in the last year than left-handed masturbaters. This is a fact that means NOTHING in terms of causality. If a right-handed masturbater switches to his left hand, it does not mean he's likely to lose weight. These studies of ridiculous correlations are everywhere these days. It's become a kind of junk science.
