The article itself was from 2007, per the copyright notice. I was really confused by all of the time elements until that came into specific relief. The data are from 2000, meaning before 9/11, so I'm not seeing much utility for how this pertains to life 25 years later.

    What has me confused is it seems to be referring to some "new study" but doesn't cite it, and I can't find that study online.

    Even if the study existed, and even if it were somehow accurate, that would have been 18 years ago and wholly irrelevant today. And those are big "if"s.

    I don't really know what the post is trying to discuss. Unfortunately, the poster seems to be completely silent on the subject beyond posting the link to the article.
