Who are you to say?

Okay, it maybe not be a one-size fit's all study, not sure if that study is even possible...but it's still really useful. How do you plan they do a 75 year study on todays generation? Time machine?

This is how stuff works. You do a study on one set, and do a study on another sample, and compare then.

And you obviously didn't read it because they didn't have similar lifestyles. The whole study was based on outcomes from different lifestyles/upbringings.

"How is this of any value to people who aren't like them?", even if this was only good to study on specific group, this question is completely useless. Why study any people of anytime? Romans? Greeks? Who cares we're not like them.

Also, stop the spreading the common notion that everyone at Harvard is the same. If you have a chance to actually visit the campus, I'd recommend it. It's fairly diverse. Don't worry...they won't bite.
