I personally believe there is a lot more truth to this list than a "well researched" study backed by statistics that you can make say whatever you want (as an alert person may notice when reading the news).

I'd even go so far as arguing that in-depth studies with their typical bias (to use a nice term) is what has made so many young, highly educated "evidence based" thinkers genuinely believe straightforward & consistent-with-observable-reality explanations like this are literally incorrect.
