Considering that most such research results are already non-reproducible and p-hacking, the added vested interests land this squarely in the crap category.
People like us nerds thinking it through strict logic ("still this does not necessarily invalidate") might reduce some false negatives, but it mostly just wastes our time and has us taken for suckers from industry/marketing con men. With this kind of "research" taking a shortcut in its evaluation is more productive.
