It depends on where the researchers obtain their funding. Logic says if OSA funds a certain group to do a similar study that the group will do and find things our way if they want more funds.

Saying a home with a (gasp) handgun is more likely to have a "homicide" is like saying a home with a swimming pool is more likely to have a drowning than one without.
I was about to write a tirade about fewer leftist voters on the left coast, but then thought better of it…….
