“...why would you presume I didn’t?” (read the study)
Because you said you didn’t know if the study was good or not. It’s an easy read, eaay to tell if it’s BS or legit science.
The basic study is excellent. Large sample size, qualitative and quantitative variables measured and analyzed, and should be easily repeatable by anyone with a decent light and microscope. I could do it in my house.
It’s frankly a smoking gun.
But you read it and can’t tell? Really? Then perhap...
“Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool, than open it and remove all doubt.”
I’ve been reading and writing medtech studies for at least 30 years.

That’s just it. You’re only reading their CLAIMS.
“should be easily repeatable by anyone with a decent light and microscope. I could do it in my house.”
No, that’s just it. You can’t, because you don’t know what “normal” is. So you look at an example. Well, if you look at an example of what a person looks like, you’ll say, “That one’s abnormal! He has read hair! That one’s abnormal, he has blue eyes! That one’s abormnal, he’s a foot shorter than that one! That one’s abnormal, he’s got three legs! Wait... that IS abnormal.
You can READ someone make a case, and you can conclude that the case is logically consistent, but neither you nor I can.
And that is why you can’t just crack open the internet, diagnose yourself and go write yourself a prescription. And that’s why you can just go wire your own house. These things seem simple but they take experience. That’s why getting your commercial pilot license takes 1,500 hours, not just mastering Flight Simulator. These things take expertise that you and I don’t have.
Hell, I can make sense out of relativity and quantum mechanics. I’m not boasting; It’s not really all that hard. But I can’t prove it’s true mathematically.
