"Dear Editor: Once again this Journal has published research supposedly supporting a null hypothesis on the basis of null-results. Even a large-scale study, laid out carefully, cannot support the notion that a phenomenon or relationship does not exist. A null result is no result at all. Please preserve the integrity and reputation of Psychological Science.

It might be more accurate to say that previous studies showing a relationship between sexual preference and menstrual cycles are not reproducible. I think they just put it in more layperson's terms.
The economist headline is naturally more sensationalized being a popular press article, but the physiological science headline starting with "no evidenced that. . . " is okay enough to pass imo.
