Perhaps it was your presentation or my reaction to what usually happens, sorry. I Probably looked at it skewed.
The poster simply made a blanket statement with no supportive documentation. I simply googled and it came up. The study was made for the US Department of Education - was there a reason why I should doubt its content?
