Also, twins share their uterine environment.
This wouldn't apply to IVF twins reared apart, but I doubt there's much of that in the studies.
Why's that relevant, when the question is what parents can change by how they treat their children? (It would be highly relevant if the question were "how much of these differences are genetic?", but on this occasion it isn't.)
I'm addressing the piece taw linked to, which was about flaws in studies of twins separated at birth.
Some degree of topic drift is normal here. Have you been in venues where all comments are supposed to address the original topic?
No, I have no problem at all with topic drift. It just wasn't clear to me that that was what had happened. My apologies for any unnecessary confusion.
Caplan's arguments are totally wrong, it doesn't make his thesis wrong. I'd expect his thesis to be very likely to be at least mostly correct.
