Miron Zuckerman states that though he finds a robust result in his updated study, he qualifies his findings by noting that "the effect size of the relation is small. This means that there are factors besides intelligence that explain why people are or are not religious." And also notes "predicting religiosity from intelligence for individuals is fallible". Additionally he stated that "“Although we present reasons for the negative relation, the empirical evidence for these explanation is not definitive.” Furthermore, he admits that his study is limited to Western nations and is unsure about the generalizability as he sates "We don't know whether it generalizes to other populations, particularly those in the Far East."<ref>Eric W.
