More verbal dexterity
Perhaps the scientists objected to what they like to call "anecdotal nature of evidence", but I don't see why a couple hundred thousand years of homo sapiens history and prehistory wasn't sufficient to clarify the matter of verbal dexterity.
Surely every straight bloke has encountered this first-hand (and repeatedly!): whenever you're wrong and she's right, you're wrong; and whenever she's wrong and you're right, you're wrong. Now, that's verbal dexterity! Myself, I've never ceased being amazed by it.
