Comment Re:How old is old enough? (Score 1) 366

I discovered recently that I like Macallan 12 better than Macallan 18. For me at least, there is such a thing as too much time in the casks. I had always heard that unlike wine, whiskey does not really change after it is bottled (reference, anyone?). The appeal of the age would then just be that there was a qualitative difference in the process or ingredients way back when? Without extensive taste testing, I would tend to expect that any marginal improvement (if any) as bottled scotch gets really old is minimal. The crazy market prices can probably be attributed to status-seeking behavior on the part of the buyers.

Without reading the article, the fact that economic status is mentioned in the summary most likely indicates that this was controlled for. That is to say, there is a statistically significant correspondence between vinyl flooring and autism, even when that correspondence is conditioned on economic status. So low income is most likely not the common cause you are looking for.
