Trouble is I can see these guys sitting around having a conversation like  
this:

"So everyone likes blue, but women are drawn to red; why?"
"Um, the sky's blue"
"Yes excellent and everyone knows a blue sky is a good thing"
"Unless it's really cold, or you want it to rain or..."
"Shut-up! Blue is always good. Now what about red why just for women?"
"Men were hunters"
"Yes that's it men were hunters, women foragers they gathered the berries  
which were better when red."
"So why don't we all eat holly seeds?"
"Will you shut-up. Blue for sky red for berries. Time to publish methinks"
