Not everything has to be a disagreement, if that’s what you were looking for.

I meant a specific reaction beyond "interesting" to any of the study's findings. You were indeed as "clear" as the single word "interesting" can be about a 100-page research report. I can't even tell if the word "interesting" means that any of the findings are a surprise to you or that you even care about the gap that is driven almost entirely by male functional failures...or not.
I am now also reading
The Beast Side, by D. Watkins. Very different kind of book: a collection of personal essays (threaded into chapters) about growing up and living in the east side of Baltimore. His writing is sharp and his commentary is incisive, and reflective of the results that this study showed: so much of our problem is a specific male dysfunction in reaction to the history of American systemic racism, police harassment, and deprivation in poor black communities. It's the black male that is the canary in the coal mine.
