While I’m not particularly hopeful for actual positive outcome of a larger study I must ask: isn’t this how studies are supposed to be done? You devise a hypothesis, you confirm it as good as you can in an experiment and document the procedure. Someone else then peer reviews your study and finds any potential mistakes, if the research looks promising enough an independent research team will devise a larger study with more funding to verify the claims, repeat this X times until some sort of conclusion can be made. Again, I’m partial against this study but at least it’s a study.
