I agree that there are many pieces of bad research—this may well be one of them. Without seeing their full methodology its difficult to judge. There are many ways a piece of research can be flawed.
I disagree that a team of researchers from a University of this standing that is composed like this would run study multiple times and cherry pick the dataset with the result they desire and if they did they certainly would be risking serious professional (if not criminal) damage.
The researchers are:
Markku Timonen1 M.D. Ph.D, Juuso Nissilä1, MSc.,
Heidi Jurvelin1, MSc., Anu Liettu M.D.,
Jari Jokelainen1, M.Sc., Antti Aunio MSc. ,
Pirkko Räsänen3, M.D. Ph.D., Timo Takala M.D. Ph.D.
That's a lot of doctors and doctorates, its not a bunch of inexperienced students.
