> Besides, the so called 'leaders' in this experiment were pretty selfish. Making all kinds of gross noises while eating their cookie. Did they care what somebody else thought of them?

That bit made me suspect the study - that the "leader" ate the cookie is believable, that they did so in a semi-vindictive manner is not believable.

I want to see the actual study.

That's not the paper cited in the study. It is also not a study, but a meta-study (review of existing literature on the subject).

In short, it doesn't address the concerns I list in my post.

I find all aspect difficult to believe. I call bs.
