Saw that on StarDestroyer.net (http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=144637)! It's really interesting if true, but there's a number of other papers not showing any such effect (http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?p=3389541#p3389541), so it seems possible an environmental factor is at fault.
