All science is based on observation and then proposing a mechanism.

Psychology is a cognitive science more predisposed to combination bias. People will cherry-pick the information that confirms their own beliefs and it is therefore not as reliable as other sciences.

The study mentioned is one such example of this and the ‘results’ mentioned flitted with what the researchers wanted to see. It is not an exact science so pardon me for not giving it the same credibility I would give to say a mathematical equation.
