Can anyone give an explanation for the following? This plot seems to make sense (<a href="http://compare-stuff.com/?q1=%22left%20handed%22;q2=%22right%20handed%22;series=030_ages_man;y0=on;fl=1" rel="nofollow">no big difference in relevance of left or right handedness vs. age</a>) The <a href="http://compare-stuff.com/?q1=%22left%20handed%22;q2=%22right%20handed%22;series=031_ages_woman;y0=on;fl=1" rel="nofollow">same plot for women</a> is very different. Nice write up – thanks David!
