I noticed one glaring contradiction in this article. In one place it
identifies "extroversion" as a type of emotional restriction that
increases the risk of cancer and elsewhere it identifies "isolative"
behavior as the same thing, suggesting the fudging of results to meet
a predetermined conclusion.
