Well, a big part of it is that I'm not looking to read a lot of empirical data in a mass of scattered reports. I'm not a skilled enough statistician to do a meaningful analysis. And I don't know that literature enough to pick a good comprehensive study, especially one that actually discusses the theoretical and methodological questions. I had a book on the subject assigned to me for editing not long ago, but it was all just "scientists have found X," and I'm not prepared to accept that as conclusive; there are too many cases of scientists supporting politically motivated ideas that turned out to be false, from the necessity of legally compulsory eugenics to the denial of hereditary factors in personality. So I'd like to see at least a serious textbook treatment.
