It's not that the paper itself made the claim of having access to objective Truth, it's that papers like these make conclusions, and these conclusions get taken in aggregate to advance various agendas, and the whole premise is treated (in aggregate) as being functionally identical to building a rocket based on conclusions reached by mathematics and physics research papers—because both situations involve making decisions based upon “scientific research”, so in both situations you can justify your actions by pointing to “Science”.

I see that you "knew a guy" and apply "common-sense thinking" (that goes against mountains of lived experience, never mind research studies)

I think I have to accuse you of bigotry. Look it up.
