hm. If that is the case, then while we may see hormonal and chemical levels in homosexuals that do not necessarily match those of heterosexuals, this could simply be a result of the fact, not the cause. I suppose there wouldn't be a way to know for sure unless they did correct what they suspect to be the difference and see if it has an effect. And while some may disagree with past views or even the possible views that I have mentioned here, it is quite possible, as I just pointed out, that the currently accepted view may not be accurate and that the other views hold much more validity but were just not properly understood.

Most of the time when theories are written off it is because they may be too broad or too specific and not accounting for every instance, so when you see an instance that seems to contradict on the surface, you assume that the theory is discredited even if it has substantial implications in various situations outside the supposed contradiction. However, if the original theory were kept in portion or perhaps modified to accommodate the contradiction or perhaps dissected to locate the truths and then redefine to internally account for the contradiction which may even uncover the overall truth of the matter, then we may quicker discover the source of the situation in question or may at least have several different levels at which to approach the topic.
