There is nothing scientific about this "study". But another good example of what I call the "Cargo cult science" approach so often found in Japan: "We use meters to collect data and make graphs and wear lab coats, so we're doing the science!"
It's like the Japanese watched a movie of scientists doing science, and just recreated what they saw without understanding anything that goes on beyond the surface.
Why is this not science? No control group, no elimination of millions of variables that could affect the animal's choice of location, etc.
