Just jumping in here as I found this very interesting link that I think might explain what Larry was saying (I took it tongue in cheek, what a great obscure reference to pull out of that study! Please correct me if I'm wrong) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finkbeiner_test Either way it was fun to learn something so random and new to me.

Larry,

Here's the link to the Finkbeiner reference. Don't see anything about gender bias in this paper, but maybe I missed something.
