Downvoted because I felt that the “though not linked to” and the hyperboles in your comment suggest that you’re coming from a subtly adversarial mindset
(I’m telling you this because I like to see more people explain their downvotes. They’re great information value. No bad feels!)
I looked for the study because I was surprised by the strength of the statement it was used to support. When I found the study, I was annoyed to find that actually, it doesn’t come close to supporting a claim of the strength made. This annoyance prompted the tone of the original post, which you have characterised fairly and was a mistake. I’ve now edited this out, because I don’t want it to distract from the claim I am making:
The study does not support the claim that is it is being used to support.
