I call that "idiocy".
Did we really need an academic study to know that many people are idiots?

Republic of Coldwater wrote:It is a real thing, but it is really human nature. When one disagrees with something, they will have to find reasons to justify their stance, and one of the numerous ways to do so is to attack the studies and evidence supporting the solution. That is why liberals would attack a study that concluded to support looser gun laws, or why Conservatives would attack a study that concluded to support regulations and taxes. Debate tactics will result in things like this, and it would be asinine to deny that such a thing exists and is really unstoppable.

Obviously I'm not going to pay to read it.
Sigh. Just another thread based on a summary, claiming "a study" which the OP hasn't read.
