Possible Speculations:

Notes:
The category Possible Speculations is meant for issues that might be relevant but where I have yet to encounter sufficient data and theory to justify discussing the matter of plausibility. Further investigation and future developments might change this status of a particular factor.Thanks to John Ackerman (Nationwide Children's Hospital) for noticing that I (inexplicably) omitted to mention the (crucial) section on international data.
