I suppose it's good to know about this article, since some know-nothings will blindly repeat the claims therein. So, I do appreciate it being posted.

This is a strange article:
- It isn't referencing some scientific paper; the article *is* the research.
- It provides only trivial data and the analysis is surface-level at best ("favour/favourable" is a common spelling outside America).
- All the quotes are from the people who work at the website, and who are self-congratulatory that they noticed similarities between two whitepapers ("In this paper, we..." is present in *most* whitepapers).
