Yes, it's very typical of the 'scientific' studies done on T.V. a lot here. Never a control group and never a mention of outcomes that are not in line with the one our 'researchers' are looking for. Huge gaps in logic.

Or even more basically, whether memorizing kanji = smart.
Mr Kobayashi: First, I experienced a sort of overpowering feeling whenever I was in the room with foreigners, not to mention a powerful body odor coming from them. I don't know whether it was a sweat from the heat or a cold sweat, but I remember I was sweating whenever they were around.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...

I don't think there can be any dispute that not memorizing kanji = illiteracy. So that would seem to be a basic component of intelligence for any nihonjin.
