Yes, I noted that the authors are largely focused on study quality vs actual conclusions about which sorts of masks are what level of effective.
And critiquing sloppy science is very necessary. But it's being extended by many to be "masks not useful, full stop" despite largely being about "most studies suck." And the phrasings chosen by the authors make it look like that mis-read/extension is an effect they desire.
