Skepticism and methodological criticism are definitionally "science". Not cult like faith. Ad hominems and appeals to authority are not valid arguments.

Paying more attention to information in a peer-reviewed journal than information in a pseudonymous substack is not "cult-like faith." Of course the study could be wrong.

The study is not and has not passed peer review.

Hasn't it? Looks published to me. It has a doi and everything.

My mistake, the link in the article you first posted still shows it as a working paper and I couldn't find it with the original title when searching.

Interestingly the DOI does not show up

https://dx.doi.org/

Here's some further criticisms:
