Robert Franklin - not too bright?

So he is quoting an article on some psychology website about a study concerning fathers and children. Here is his comment:

Sons who have fond childhood memories of their fathers are more likely to be emotionally stable in the face of day-to-day stresses, according to psychologists who studied hundreds of adults of all ages.

Well duh!!!! I think daughters who have the same thing will get the same benefit. And what about those sons who do not have that same great relationship with dad? What about those children whose fathers are abusive (and by looking at Dastardly Dads we see that bad dads are all too common)? I wonder who will do that study?
