I can appreciate not letting perfect be the enemy of the good, and to use another analogy like yours: worrying about the impact of screen time is akin to not seeing the Forrest from the Trees. I also appreciate the researchers were not focused on identifying every problem children face, and that understanding causal relationships between behavior and outcomes is also important. However, specific to the issue of screen time, it's my opinion that it is completely overblown, mirroring the issue of my day "violence in media and it's impact on children." Having two children myself who were developmentally delayed (who did not get any screen time at young ages) what helped was access to early intervention. Research like this just feeds into negativity and judgement parents face from society.
