There's an old adage that there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. If you have lived to 100 years old you were born in 1925 at the latest and grew up in a very different culture from what we have today. Given that the researchers would have to have seen a bias that obvious, plus a handful more, suggests that they know that their data is skewed but prefer to pedal an agenda. That explains why they're winning Emmys rather than Nobels.
