Known by who? Did you just respond to a peer-reviewed study with made-up pseudo-science? Also, I should point out that the psychiatric term is ADHD, not ADD.

Oh no, I offended the scientific valour, better shoot me some rigor-mo'roll.

I didn't say the study is bunk. I said that looking at performance differences as significant without reference to the 30/30/30 effect is extremely misinformed. What I should have said is that the study's "interpretation" is flawed. That would have sounded more rigorous.
