Comment What other factors were involved? (Score 1) 619
Okay, as I understand it one county had cable and another didn't. The county with cable had higher autism rates. (yes, I'm overly simplifying)
What OTHER things were different about the counties? Would it be reasonable to assume the one WITH cable was a little less rural and possibly had other, more significant differences than the availability of cable television? Were there smoke-belching factories in one and not the other? Nuclear power plant? Unmonitored government testing?
Perhaps one town was built on top of an ancient Indian burial ground?
