Did you read the paragraph at the bottom of the page?

"three different universities...did not observe the same results as in the original study....The effect...may have been due...to unconscious cues...or may simply have been due to chance. They are very careful in their language to not discredit the original study but they advise that future researchers be more cautious...

Then the conclusion is "The original study still stands"!?! and deserves "slight skepticism"?

Sorry, I'm going with "outright disbelief" until shown credible evidence otherwise.
