Q. What is your response to the biological evidence of gender preference in babies?

No, the evidence that debunked our "hypothesis" doesn't change anything.
"I have what you would call a theoretical basis. There is no room for biology in there for me."

Both questioned the researchers motives for debunking them.

Claimed science can't prove them wrong, yet had no basis in science for their "hypothesis".
