> What about the research they did, including surveying 5,535 people across eight countries?

The size of the study is irrelevant if we can’t verify the methodology, and of course those details, if they were published at all, are behind the paywall.



> those details, if they were published at all

They link to the study. These critcisms are a little hard to fathom as information: Is it symbolism of something, the same thing they describe?


> They link to the study.

Yeah—you see, if you click on that link you’ve identified, you’ll find the study itself is paywalled.


I don't like paywalls for science, but that doesn't mean that all that research doesn't exist.

[edit: removed mistaken quotes of and references to another commenter; sorry]


Wait, so is it stupid non-science we should insult? Or is it just a claim that we can't verify without a deep dive into methodology? Hopefully those are two very different things.


I did not and am not taking a stance on the alleged science or non-science because I can’t bloody read it.

EDIT: You are quoting an entirely different user, I never said it wasn’t science. THAT WAS SOMEONE ELSE.


Apologies for thinking you were echoing their point and for making you so angry.


edit: The parent is correct, another user said that. Sorry.
