@auramun@anarchism.space Actually in scientific circles we have something called "meta studies" which is exactly what you describe, a study which itself collects many other studies and summarizes them" the difference between a meta study and what you posted is a metastudy uses scientific language and passes peer review. A post from a website oriented towards a layperson has neither of these properties.

So yes i do agree that a single study doesnt say much. We would have to review the greater body of scific studies by showing them all, or rely on peer reviewed meta-studies. But a website oriented at the layperson is not really an acceptable source for serious study.
