It’s funny how they have to redo the study like every 10 years or so to remind everybody how dumb they are.
Yeah I think the difference between this and like car farts research is people actually need some references for people who otherwise won't use common sense. Its sorta like the regular bets on psychics if they can prove their ability in a controlled setting that no one wins.
