Re: It could, as she stated...be

You still don't get it! The pedosmile isn't supposed to be an indicator of pedophilia. It's a possible link to a larger issue. Essentially if there is a link between the two, it could point to what gene causes it (if there is one). In other words it could lead to a cure or a genetic "patch" so to speak.

It's not as if this type of smile would be used for police to go door to door looking for people that smile a certain way. It would just allow scientists to isolate the faulty gene if there is one.

On the other hand this could just be the same as the way stereotypes and racism emerge too. Humans look for patterns to avoid danger. If they see a pattern that is tied to something negative...they tend to avoid it. So chances are the hypothesis of the pedosmile isn't true, and if it isn't; the scientific method would prove it false or at the very least inconclusive. BUT...that doesn't make this article as terrible as you make it out to be.
