From my experience the issues with this study have been well known for a long time. A first year Psychology paper I took over 10 years ago was at pains to point out the flaws in the study - not that this was unusual, a good lecturer will critically analyse any scientific study they present. Perhaps it has more to do with the increasing popular appeal of the study?

Similarly, I was told very early on in my studies that Maslow's hierarchy of needs isn't actually supported by much evidence. And yet I still find it referenced everywhere.
