I agree.

The data is simply too difficult to evaluate. Even the Rutgers Fatherhood Project folks which CB cites essentially acknowledges this to be the case:

fatherhood.org

Nonetheless, I think one can validly say that kids from intact families are probably more likely to avoid the more obvious difficulties.

The issue is so difficult to evaluate that the only valid stance I think is that judgments have to be made, instead of hard and fast pronounciamientos which are subject to doubt even by those who make them. In that sense, I think one can validly judge/opine that intact families on the whole lead to better results than broken families. And I would agree with such a judgment, knowing full well the near impossibility of proving the proposition statistically.
