Okay, looking over the examples, I noticed a couple of things, for what they may be worth. The grid is just an average of a typical human skull. That's not likely to change much: if you look at the examples of the "average" woman, she fits the grid just as easily as the "supermodel gorgeous" women, and it was pretty telling that the examples they cited for "below average" and "downright unattractive" women were two people who appeared to have been born with physical disfigurements. Also, the grid has an "openess" about it that allows it to mask the fact that, in the historical instances, some noses were longer, some lips were smaller, some eyes were differently shaped. So how reliable is a "mask" that really isn't much of a standard to begin with? Insofar as the race thing, I think we've all noticed instaces where an African American texture for Vicky gets trotted out and we can all tell it's just a darkened version of a Caucasian texture. And that's because there are no race-based morphs to make the presentation complete.
