I found it a little surprsing too (especially when I went and looked at
the supporting studies [with numbers]), but then I thought about my early
days on triangle.general and realized that I'd ingored a lot of
what I considered "dross" (anyone remember Joel Furr?) So I think
my _subjective_ experience may have been a poor reflection of reality.

My $.02, YMMV, of course,

My brain seems to have a circuit-breaker-like mechanism that, when I get
confused and befuddled by the overwhelming monstrosities of my life,
causes a default to the simplest and most pleasant of thoughts.  Like 
Marshmallow Peeps.  I *like* Marshmallow Peeps.
