Sounds like a kind of crazy blanket statement for actual researchers to make but then again sociology research.. well..

Why is it crazy? It seems like the most sensible conclusion - no kids reduces stress significantly. Maybe in a world without need it’d be the other way around, but we don’t live in a post-scarcity society, do we?

Because it's a simplistic blanket statement about a very complex issue. You think you can take a single factor "kids = stress" and that's that?

So nobody can arrive at any conclusions about complex topics? That's like saying we can't quantify global warning because climate science is complex.
