Respectfully disagree. As stated, their voter model "should" vote for more redistribution the further the individual is from the median/mean. Then they seem surprised that actual people don't behave that way. Duh.
The researchers seem to have at least partially answered their own question though:
"Trust in government (or lack thereof) also seems to be a critical element in driving support for redistribution."
the hubris of the authors seems to preclude any examination of their own assumptions about what is "right" or "wrong", so they conclude that the rest of us just need more education/indoctrination
