Got a link to that?

I'm also interested in this because a lot of nomads (especially levelsio) think that staying somewhere for a few days/weeks isn't great and its better to stay somewhere for 6 months or so
Definitely weeks: days and then moving is tiring imho. And not productive. Months I find too long. Probably based on personal taste a lot as well.

And for nomads perhaps taxes; staying 6 months can be dangerous in some cases; even 60 days consecutive for some countries.

Dan Ariely's research for example shows that duration has little effect on our memory of an event. Check his TED talks.
