As the article says, we shouldn't have the norm, "the data matters unless we already agree with the conclusion."

Nobody is claiming the data doesn't matter. The data they showed supported the conclusion. The author seems mad that there is additional data that also supports the conclusion that they didn't show. My question is, "so what?".

If the additional data falsified the conclusion, that would be one thing. But it doesn't, so why keep harping about how it wasn't shown?
