That seems like a reasonable reading and yet even so, I think the article pushes it. I was the primary care giver for my sons and I can't imagine that even the "chattiest years" would have amounted to more than 5 or 6 years. Kids very quickly get involved in school, friends, etc., to the point that conversations subside. And by the time kids are older, it is difficult sometimes to get as much conversation from them as you'd like.

The researchers don’t know for sure why women are the more talkative gender during the near-40-year stretch between 25 and 64, but they say one possibility is that those tend to be the child rearing years, and women, who often assume the role of primary caregiver,
They really seem to be reaching on this one. I don't think anyone, if asked to define child rearing years, would stretch those years out until 64. Also, 40 years is a significant percentage of average lifespans.
The whole article seems to be trying really hard to not come to the conclusion that most people would naively assume to be correct.

Oh, I don't mind anyone disrespecting Ronald Reagan or Donald Regan. It is the disrespect for the reader that is bothersome.
The correct spelling is even in the link
Villains or heroes isn't the issue. It's the argument that we need a group that doesn't play by the rules that apply to the rest of society that I find problematic.
Shouldn't we strive for a world in which the rules really do apply to all? Can't we hope to conceive of a set of laws standards by which we should all be judged? Isn't the world of Star Trek meant in some way to be aspirational, rather than just a reflection of what we have now?
I just read that section and I am unconvinced. To me, it seems the thing that really normalized the single space was HTML. Since it reduces all double spaces to single spaces, single spacing became ubiquitous online. Pervasive, however, doesn't mean better. New doesn't mean improved. Was there a benefit to the old custom of 2 spaces? Well, I think so and I haven't seen an argument for single spacing that makes me think otherwise.
Yeah. Reading the article, Section 31 seems great if you just want to just shit on everything else in the franchise. Nope, not for me.

Unethical and counterproductive. Having a prosthetic limb would almost invariably lead to a less sedentary lifestyle, which is strongly correlated with better health. Paying for a prosthetic today has to be cheaper than paying for a heart attack or diabeties later.
Oh, I don't think I did any more nagging than most fathers. You can tell when the kids start being more in to other things than hanging out with their parents, but you still miss it a little.
