This data drastically contradicts not only my personal observations of
modern US society, but also a large number of articles I've read on the same
topic.
So, I suspect something fishy in the definitions or the data collection
methodology...
But I'm not such a poor scientist that I'm unable, on careful study, to come
to a conclusion contradicting my initial impression.
