I was reading this (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/11/AR2007021100931.html) article in the washington post, and basically what it says is that a person's relationship behavior (& and future relationship failure) can be predicted at age 1 when a baby's reaction to her/his mother leaving and returning are observed. The more insecure you are as a baby, supposedly the more insecure you are in your early 20s in serious relationships.

While this study is interesting, it seems, to me, to be plagued with flaws. Exactly how do you define "insecure?" What is a relationship "problem" to some people may not be to others, and, likewise, certain problem solving skills may seem futile to some, but productive to others. Is there really a scale that evenly measure one relationship against another?

Which brings up another question - how can one measure behavior when, if we all have 10^12 neurons, there is so much possibility for behaving differently? How can behavior be made into a credible science when there are infinite possibilities for generalizations masquerading as truths?
