Are they? Has any studies been done or are we basing this off of an anecdote from a TV series and taking it as fact. I did a quick bit of an interweb search and couldn’t find any conclusive except for similar based question based on Dwight’s quote. Not convinced it’s a thing and wouldn’t be sure how to explain it.
