It depends on the audience.

Personally, if something will make a low occurence event marginally safer, I might not care. That's what this paper is saying.

Perhaps a scientific paper isn't the place for that (an article about the paper probably is) but that translated data is still relevant to a certain perspective.

But this is exactly the point of studies like this. They are written in a way that allows misinterpretation, and then the media can pick it up and run with it (like they did with this one).

There is a large body of writing about P-hacking, bias in studies, this is just one more in that long, long list.
