Did you read the study? I did. It aggregates scores of other studies with orthogonal datasets, widely disparate abstracts, and what appear to be dramatically different outcomes, then applies what appear to be arbitrary and AFAIK undefined models to achieve its probably unfalsifiable outcomes.

Not saying the conclusions they came to are wrong. I’m saying you can’t possibly determine whether it’s right from the data they present. I’m not sure they could replicate their own conclusion if you sat down at a desk with them.
