Default I would be unhappy about a sloppy article about bipolar

Hi,
The writer posits three explanations and then shows that two of them are no good.
Here is the link: http://www.slate.com/id/2302917/
The X Y stuff is the best he has. Why even bother with the other two explanations? That's all the general reader has to work with now. I am the general reader.

I took three science classes in college, but I would understand the enough of the X Y stuff for now if the writer gave me three or four more sentences to work with. Who does the journalist think is reading his piece --- especially with a title like that? Lots of woman have autoimmune disease.
We want to know what is going on.

I suffered for about 10 years until time and my acupuncturist helped me. I had gotten lots of really bad explanations for what was going on. I'd still like to know.


Venus Williams is one of the top athletes in the world. The writer had an opportunity to help woman and their loved ones.
