Yeah take that with a massive grain of salt. Most social studies can’t be reproduced. (As in, at least 2/3rds can’t be reproduced, and the remaining 1/3rd often only on the same specific cohort)

During my studies my team tried to replicate some studies showing improved test scores after playing games like Tetris; we tried it on several schools and found literally no effect whatsoever.

So why do you believe that screen time is bad for kids if studies can't be replicated? If you were consistent you would say this for that as well, just scrutinizing one side means you aren't really scrutinizing, you are just confirming your own biases.

Who said I believe that? I surely don’t. I had a lot of screen time as a kid and it taught me a lot, for one I wouldn’t be able to speak English without it.

I personally do believe screen time ought to be limited to some extent, but that’s only because I believe being outside is healthy, not because screen time itself is bad.

I didn't want to go into that, but social sciences is indeed bad at proving things. At best they find a correlation, but a causal relation is very hard to determine. And that's aside from the bad methodology.
