I think this is a overly pessimistic take.

It would be nice to see a longer term study. And no people shouldn't be buying this in IndiaMart but critical analysis of studies isn't just about being as pessimistic as possible.

It's overly pessimistic as it's not constructive. Instead of asking for longer term studies you declare the effect probably won't last.

There are loads of criticisms one could make of the study and wider hypothesis. But as with all criticism it should be constructive where reasonable.

I would think it's pretty clear that the implication is longer term studies are needed and that people reading can infer that on their own.

It’s the case with many nootropics, for many people, so I don’t think this is especially pessimistic.
