re: #203 Obdicut

No, it isn’t. Your assertion doesn’t make it at all true. There is no consensus at all in psychiatric research about the origins of pedophilia. Or about the origins of pretty much any behavior, for that matter.

That it is one of the few things that can be isolated is a good indication that we have no way of knowing if it’s ‘largely’ a learned behavior. That that we cannot isolate we can’t judge the influence and import of.

Read my #208, what I have said is well supported by the literature, but it is a complex issue to be sure.

“Largely” in the way I am using it means it is one of the key factors currently understood, in 28% to 93% of the cases. There are no other factors with that sort of influence.
