Because you said you want to convince yourself (or at least are interested in the answer). I am interested... please YOU find research that supports your assertions :-) You seem to think women can calculate the "safe" period accurately. But in reality it is fairly irregular within limits. Otherwise there would have been no real need for the birth control pill (just don't have sex for 3 days in a month). Actually that works very well. The drawback being that we are not clockwork, and emotional stress, etc can slightly change the date of ovulation. I guess you are not going to trust me on this. Just do research, then. Look in a biology textbook. Check a woman's fertile dates. They are NOT a week of every week, I assure you. The flip side of your math argument are the many women who want to get pregnant and have to keep trying That is not even an argument. We are not talking about infertile individuals here... Was the experiment done in-vitro or in-vivo? We are talking about how long sperm lives in a woman. What do YOU think? Can the study POSSIBLY be in-vivo? Was it widely sampled or narrowly focused? Or was it just a statistical conclusion based on questionairs? Scientific research is rarely "narrow", and in this case, we are not even talking about a single research. Or was it just a statistical conclusion based on questionairs? You mean were women asked questions like "When did the sperm die inside you? Did you feel it die yesterday?"??? Or are you referring to asking continuous questions to the millions of sperms in question, so that when they stop answering, the researcher assumes they are dead??? Sorry but I don't have time for this. I already did quite a bit of net research on your assertions and came up with zip. If you find anything scientific on the subject, I will be interested to read them. Until then....
