Then you've misunderstood: "claims of X seem exaggerated" can (and should) be taken as "the evidence for X is weak" (hence my request for more).
Anyway you want to cut it, this is a completely pedantic derailment of the original point: OP is making completely empty declarations.
Sure, you can nitpick over the use of the word prevalent, but it's quite clear from the context that the conclusion was drawn on basis of the experience described (other than the article).
