No doubt. Beliving you have risen above speaking out of your own weltanschauung must be a particularly pernicious form of self-deception.

I would say "inclination and sensitivity" are even greater contributers than the article professes. Probably to the point that we could say "ability" is standard across the board and severe inclinations toward "inclination and sensitivity" hinder the ability to accurately measure "ability".

People will find experiences in their life that can be used to affirm whatever they believe.

No matter what the experiences or belief.

Is your leitmotiv to do with MaggieL being your doppelganger , BlueSky ? Or is that just schadenfreude on my part ?

Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true. -Robert Brault, software developer, writer (1938- )

And why not?

Just an off hand guess based on the number of women I know who've had them (false neg.) I'd say, ohhh about most of them.
