Generally agree with Lusitano and with respect to, "The article’s title was taken from the mishandling of the data, either by ignorance or by malicious intentions to provoke polemic (to sell)."

Partly the latter but most probably, the former. There is a general lack of critical thinking because they have not really learned it yet. They don't know how to do a proper research and qualify the use of the data and its interpretations and because of that, the research does not carry much weight, as you guys have all pointed out.

/There is a proper term for these qualifications - eg. sample size, etc... but I've forgotten, as it's not relevant to my work. No spare time to search and dig it up though I know where to look.
