If he finds he made a mistake, I will cite the updated material on his website. I should hear back from him fairly soon. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 05:44, 31 October 2011 (EDT)

:That's the same reply I received. I'm not entirely sure we should expect to hear from him soon but I'll live. [[User:Ayzmo|Ayzmo :)]] 12:46, 31 October 2011 (EDT)

Dr. Whitehead said this recently via a response to an inquiry:
"Sorry about the very long delay. I spent about 4 hours checking this issue...
The facts are these: 29 societies are noted in which homosexuality is stated as absent, rare, or practised only in secret. The authors do not go on to discuss each of the societies. They only mention facts about 6. They say in passing it was not seen in the Goajiro, one of the six and the average reader including me would take this to mean a possible absence. The status of the remaining groups is not given. The interpretation could range all the way from 23 having homosexuality absent to 23 having it rarely. They do not state that in these 23 it is quite prevalent. That statement more likely applies generally, and I would not argue with it.
So I intend to let what I have written stand."
Sorry it took longer than expected to get an answer. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 11:37, 9 July 2012 (EDT)
