Good point and question and I was going to ask that kind of question but forgot. It may still be mostly about power, or it may be somewhere between the kind of stats between the article and a 90/10 power/sexual attraction split, just thought the article was interesting and at least raised the question if it's mostly about power.
I think it's easier to think about it being about power because power is something we can understand while the vast majority of people can't understand attraction to a child so won't want to accept that as an explanation (and again as you say the more mature the child the less clear it would be).
