There are like three dozen twitter bots that automatically repost HN posts, and there are like ten thousand twitter bots that automatically repost popular reddit posts. A single post getting to the front page of both will get you a hundred thousand tweets in ten minutes. They don't seem to have linked the study, so I can't check if they controlled for that, but it's such a common use case that I really hope they did.
