Your comment implied that the author doesn't address this in depth in the article. Your article flippantly compares this to people finding random correlations, which is so far from the content of the article that I'd personally consider your comment rude and in bad faith.

My comment was not directed at anyone, unless maybe the author himself found it rude. I did read the article, and I still don't buy it and don't like that it's presented as fact. I did not in fact mean to make light of what research was done, only that it's easy to fall into a trap of finding correlations and 'proving' them. As I read the article, I could almost immediately come up with an equally logical, unrelated-to-lead counterpoint.
