“Strangely, these new cells were significantly lower in females.”
It’s men that will drive for miles in the wrong direction on a vacation rather than admit they are going the wrong way, not women. Male GPS cells are either minimal or nonexistent. Ask any woman. We know.
You sound like my wife ... we've been married nearly 40 years and I made a insignificant directional error on a vacation very early on ... and I've never been allowed to forget it. No matter that I've navigated a small sailing vessel across the North Atlantic from New England to Gibraltar ... doesn't count. :o)
