Researchers have said all sorts of things through out time like whites being smarter than blacks, men being smarter than women, & people believe them. Now popular opinion say women are smarter or more mature or more caring, etc, than men. People simply believe this as some sort of fact the same way the majority believed that whites were smarter than blacks. Some people today even believe that gays are smarter or better than straights, & say their information is valid because research says so.
But just because research says so & written somewhere in a book doesn't mean it's true or even close to it. That should be obvious when looking at how many times research & popular opinion changes from one thing to another. Your actual, personal life experience with these issues tells the actual truth, & you can't see the truth unless you experience it without jaded filters.
Are human beings prone to false knowledge because it's still a simple babies race that claims to be sophisticated?
