  I was more convinced that the original paper may have problems by https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.09761 https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.09761 From that preprint: > We find that the 12th-order polynomial fit to the spectral passband utilised in the published study leads to spurious results.

That graph is a very big red flag.
