To be fair, the authors are open about the shortcomings:

- rcthompson 9y agoI don't know that the level of significance reported in the paper even justifies further research.

Though something very much like the note on my this paper is common, for good reason, on papers reporting a novel, borderline significant association with no clear mechanism.

To be fair, this is more or less "boiler-plate text" added at the end of every research paper, sometimes I would like to see a research paper that ends with "... and that's all about it".
