In turn, thank you. And yeah, one of the other things that I find annoying about these studies that follow this paradigm of, "Control for everything you can think of, and then make a big deal of any residual effect, as if it's somehow implying an independent causative relationship," is that they don't seem to really distinguish between probable mediators and probable confounders. Which makes sense, I suppose. If you're just on an easter egg hunt for p-values, then I guess you don't really need to care about how an analysis decision might affect the practical utility or theoretical value of your findings.
