Perhaps it is. I recall a high school biology lab about the ability to taste 
certain flavors being genetic.  Part of the lab was a slip of paper coated 
with some particular flavor componant in coffee that we touched to our 
tongues.  about 1 / 3 the class gagged and ran for the sinks and water 
fountains, while the rest of us wondered who they though they were fooling 
as the paper had no flavor.  I even tasted the opposite end of my lab-mate's 
paper and she refused to beleive I couldn't taste anything.  After the 
horrors of whatever was on her paper, she wasn't willing to taste the other 
end of my paper.  After recording our responses to that, we answered the 
question: do you like coffee?  Those that tasted nothing on the paper almost 
invariably liked coffee.  Those who gagged, dis-liked coffee.
