Talk:Anterior commissure

Sexuality

This section seems to be missing some text about the work of LeVay. The name suddenly pops up in the sentence: ' this study has "many of the same interpretive difficulties as LeVay's" '. We need to know what that work was to make real sense of what is being said. Myrvin (talk) 14:30, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually the whole thing is confused. Is the 1991 study by LeVay? Are they Brye and Parson or Byne and Parsons? There is no reference for these two, whoever they are.Myrvin (talk) 14:37, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

That material was added by an IP editor in March 2008. The Byne and Parsons ref must be to PMID 8439245. Beyond that, I disavow all knowledge of this topic. Looie496 (talk) 21:18, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

This section has real issues and unbalances even this little stub article. The whole paragraph "Their assessment is quite deceptive however, ... these differences were probably not due to chance" is tendentious and an original or unattributed argument. --95.147.161.73 (talk) 11:51, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Please feel free to fix the problems that you see -- even if it means simply removing material that doesn't belong here. (Just make sure that you use edit summaries when you save your edits, so that other editors can see the reasons for your actions.) Regards, Looie496 (talk) 18:22, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

The paragraph beginning with "Their assessment is quite deceptive however" is a bit too detailed. It is clearly a response from someone who has a strong desire to demonstrate reliable biological differences in groups with different sexual preferences. While, I see no harm in pointing out possible flaws in the article I think the concluding sentence: "Therefore, the existence of a few heterosexual males..." could actually replace the entire paragraph as long as the citations currently used were moved to the end of the sentence.

Actually, this whole thing is clearly a politicized mess... I'll clean it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.79.176.226 (talk) 17:17, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

I've put back the edits by me that were deleted. Myrvin (talk) 19:05, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Myrvin - you have written a beautiful paragraph detailing the differences between descriptive and inferential statistics. But as you said above "please feel free to fix the problems that you see -- even if it means simply removing material that doesn't belong here". Your paragraph deserves to be on a page about statistics or on a page about biological factors in sexual orientation. As a neuroanatomist who studies sex differences in the brain, I can appreciate your desire to place it here and would normally champion the effort but it simply doesn't belong. The conflicting reports are better summed up in two or three sentences without going into detail about statistical concerns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.79.176.226 (talk) 18:08, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Not me boss. Myrvin (talk) 20:18, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

However, it was me who added the details of the later research that you have removed. I don't see what is so wrong with that. Is there some rule you have about not including details of cited sources? I thought they were interesting. It would be better if you were properly signed in if you are going to make large edits. Myrvin (talk) 09:28, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Seeing no response to my argument, I have put the details back. Myrvin (talk) 07:47, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
