If you are wondering, yes, I have considered using citations a lot more in this post. I'm just wondering if the links would be as accessible.
Generally, I'm avoiding linking to third party opinions here (other than avoiding bad takes, I'd like something more concrete), and instead focusing on actual scientific studies.
I added Dr. Lehmiller in as he did a relevant study (and he added useful context). I linked directly to an article written by him on his column in Psychology Today.
I'm aware that third party opinions can attract more interest though, and I've linked to a few of those before. I'm trying to avoid complicating things in this one.
If you remember the earlier form of the post, it was basically a bunch of bullet points. As it gets longer, I might do more editing to make it flow better (and maybe add a few more citations, as the links wouldn't be as obtrusive).
