It's not the research itself that is lazy, it's the way results with very limited scope are used by people to push an agenda. I guarantee you the authors are aware of the limits of their research. They aren't the ones making overarching claims. I challenge you to look up how social scientists themselves (and not one stop issue sites) feel about UBI. You can't bother to provide a link when you are citing a statistic? That's just lazy. In graduate school they train you like an attack dog to find this stuff, so it's pedantic, but that really doesn't bother anyone? Just a link supporting your main claim - too much to ask? The association with academia and "stats" without the same standards is weird.
