UPenn is a well regarded school. Its business school is generally regarded to be the best of the lot. Wharton professors are generally not on the receiving side of elitism. This research is simply very low quality. It maybe gratifies a certain sensibility. We all know that using our phones too much can be a problem and this research makes for a pithy form of name calling. But beyond a quick insult against a perceived threat the core thesis just makes no sense in light of the past 50 years of research on psychology and media.

Then make a point that the research sucks. Don't entrench a system of "elite" universities, especially when it's the inverse here.
I think you mistook "b-school" to mean "second tier". The GP meant "business school".
