My favorite thing about 'study finds' articles on HN is that I get to read the comments and see people instantly tell me why the article (or sometimes paper as well) is terrible.

I mean this sincerely too, since it's a very low-effort and quick way to find what is often some pretty critical flaws in the presented conclusions.

Perhaps. But in this case, 15 ppl is not a "study". Furthermore, this had no control group.

This is not the type of information we come to HN for.
