Why we still haven't obtained a definite answer to this question, with the
benefit of a century of reasonably scentific psychology, is a mystery to me.

Nothing (short of raising a number of kids in Skinner boxes) can
*experimentally* answer this, would be my suspicion. Otherwise too many
factors muddy whether it's a cause or not...

If there is a causal relationship that is strong enough to be worried about,
then surely it is something that an attempt at correlation would find.  Since
such correlation hasn't been shown, I think that we can temporarily behave
like there is no correlation.
