Your wife is one of the end products of cutthroat competition across several billion years so let's just say her general intelligence has a fair bit more validation than 20 years of research.

Sexual selection applies an evolutionary pressure against men who challenge women too much about the validity of their reasoning.

Well, for what it's worth, I believe that this evolutionary pressure works as strongly, or even more so, against women who challenge men about the validity of their reasoning.
