The lead author is a pseudo-academic who publishes books nobody reads that promote evangelicalism thinly veiled as academia. The "study" is predictably published in a shitty journal that nobody references from a shitty publisher with a dubious reputation for publishing pseudo-science so long as the authors pay their fees to have it published.

So-called "studies" like this one read like pulp fiction.
