Ok lol not sure where this is going, but we're done.
It speaks to a truly fundemental lack of understanding of the scientific method, given you're criticizing them for their hypothesis and presenting it like it's their conclusion. That's just not how science works.
This is you:
So you're talking about my reading on the paper, not the paper's conclusion.
You continued to to make this claim:
Which is exactly what they in fact said in their hypothesis.
Oh and your disrespectful tone doesn't do you any favors. Lack of understanding of the scientific method my balls, try learning how language works.
Yes, because your conclusion of what the paper is saying is absolutely not what the paper actually says.
Yes, in their hypothesis. It seems evident that you don't know what a hypothesis is in a scientific paper given you keep incorrectly presenting something taken from the hypothesis as a claim the authors are making.
This is so basic it's literally taught in the first grade. You have absolutely no grounds from which to criticize this article if you do not even understand the basic structures of scientific inquiry, foremost in this particular discussion that the ideas in a hypothesis are by no means automatically going to be reflected in the conclusion.
You're embarrasing yourself. The authors claim that their hypothesis was supported in their conclusion.
This is in contrast to your statement:
Now quit your bullshit and fuck off.
I've never once claimed (or implied) that the author's hypothesis wasn't supported by their conclusion, just that basing your criticisms off the hypothesis belies a total lack of understanding for how the scientific process works - and showed that at that point you hadn't even read the paper, or you could have simply quoted the relevant portion from the conclusion.
What I initially was pointing out is that this criticism,
was completely baseless. It still is, too.
(my statement and the author's conclusions absolutely agree, as well. I don't... see how you could misinterpret that. It's really explicitly clear.)
