11. Shit study published in a shit journal

The so-called "study" you are referencing is published by a notorious junk science Chinese predatory pay-to-play publisher.

Even if the source of your "study" wasn't complete shit (and it is), there still wouldn't be much reason to believe it. Psychology studies published even in the best journals are only reproducible a little over 1/3rd of the time.
