You could also try reading the link which addresses several citations and studies instead of looking at the url and spazzing out

Not to mention the research you posted outright supports my argument, so what are you doing?


Ah yes, the lovely accuracy of studies from 1992 vs 2017.

I love where this is going.
What's your argument again?

or a height that's basically a death sentence

Maybe people would choose 5'5" because they don't want to die at the age of 46


From your article.

1. Keep perspective. Height studies tend to be small. Its difficult to get a large group of people who are 610 together to study these things, says Michael A. Rosenberg, M.D., of the Harvard Medical School. For every Dawkins and Malone and Wilt, theres a 6-foot-9 Bill Russell, whos 81 now.

2. Be skeptical. For every study that connects height and early death, you can find one that concludes the opposite. A 2014 study, for example, found that taller people have a 20 to 25 percent lower risk of sudden cardiac death, the disorder that too often takes youth athletes out.
