As usual for popsci reporting, the headline discards any nuance the article may have had — which itself usually goes beyond the claims made in the science. :-(

> The authors stress that their results are preliminary

And we should take this with a huge grain of salt, wait a few more years, and see what the data looks like then.

I wish it was easy for citizens to get a hold of data like this. So much good that could be done with clean access to key data sources. Will we ever see the day where this sort of information is put in the hands of people who want to make a positive difference.
