"If there are none, then the most we can say is that the findings are interesting but not conclusive."

Certainly, I agree. This is what I have been saying. Not conclusive.

"Personally, I do not even find them interesting myself"

I am sorry to hear that, and surprised as well. I would have though that you would be interested in society developing a better understanding of what motivates people. There are so many problems in society that people need to grapple with, and which require the right tools to treat.

"If there is some quirky, subconscious reason that explains why some people don't like dogs ... who cares?"

I suppose that the dog would. Hate as a motivator and the reasons for it ought not to be trivialized. People being marched to death with pink triangles or the Star of David are not matters to be flippant about.

"You do, I guess"

Yes...I do.

"All Karma was saying, quite correctly, is that you have no proof to offer of this point"

I did not offer proof. I offered evidence, and I shared information. His criticisms were misguided and baseless.
