- themitigating 4y agoLet's hope the poster isn't lying or wrong
- rising-sky 4y agoYou probably still want to at least look at the research yourself, trusting other "off-hand" comments is, uh, ironically, akin to the moral from the "off-hand" parent comment in this case
- throwaway4aday 4y agoTrusting a random commenter to dismiss the contents of an article for you seems almost as bad as only reading the headline. In both cases you're putting full faith in someone else to summarize the article in a way that serves their interests more than yours.

- exfatloss 4y agoI skimmed the abstract and would say the comment isn't quite fair to the study. I'm glad I spent the time checking it out myself.
- canadiantim 4y agoI personally find the parent comment to be way too dismissive. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
