Two Cites:

1. cite that he was never wrong
2. cite that callers into a love/sex advice show are a valid sample set to make any conclusions

Interestingly, from Freudian’s Loveline/high-pitched voices thread from 2007, we have

> Drew always said that himself. Sometimes guests would ask him if they should assume that baby voiced girls had all been molested and Drew would say (half facetiously), “no, just the ones who call this show.” **he frequently tried to make the point that women who called Loveline were already self-selected to be trainwrecks**.

(bolding mine)  
So Dio, since you yourself admit it’s a craptastic sample, how about some real cites?
