13. Well, bad research is bad research.

I am not saying that this is bad research, but the post you responded to does point out some worrisome points with regards to the study cited in the OP.

Also, your strawman is a non-sequitur to the critique of the journal and expertise of the researchers.

If the research is biased, that is not good no matter what its conclusions are. Also, consider that, in science, one study almost never establishes new findings. As the critique points out, this isn't even new research; it's a review of previous research. Such reviews are ripe for cherry picked conclusions.

These things put this paper's conclusions in question, not a good thing. Again, no matter what its conclusions are.

That's just the way science works, my friend.
