Ah, the qualify the statement, it isn't an absolute.  So, does that mean 
that those that do get it are faking or those that don't get are really gaga 
but able to cover up.   Or, does the statement mean anything at all since 
there is no way to prove that if those very same people hadn't been active 
they still wouldn't have gotten Alzheimer's. <g>
