Yes Todd that is what the studies are about - the genetics of LMB. I think and do others that Wes is incorrect on the subject. I answered his point of view in the thread you copied and pasted. Funny you did not include that in what you posted. But what is important is not what you think or what I may believe but that the PB readers get all sides of an issue and can judge for themselves. That is what I have done here - be sure all sides are set out for PB readers.
Here is the prior thread - lots here with many peoples thoughts
