Tara -

To pile on - sorry - you made this statement as if it were a fact.  I'm 
having problems with just accepting this as face value.  In fact, it 
feels like either anecdotal or made up - if it isn't either, I apologize...

Can you provide any backup in the form of per reviewed papers or other 
generally accepted authorities that would tend to support this statement?

Lastly, 3 of 4?  3 of 5, 3 of 10, 3 of 50, 3 of 100, 3 of 1000?    How 
small or large does the containing group need to be for this statement 
to be mostly true?
