    numerous scientific communicators have put effort into explaining why this seemingly “common-sense” belief is actually counterproductive

    I agree with that if we’re talking about scientific fields. But this is a socio-economic field, not a scientific one - you could just have asked 500 people what they would do instead of spending a whole lot of money on a 3 year study.

    “Why do scientists study obvious things?”

    Tax money is tasty yum yum.

    I hope you’ll use this as an opportunity to seek out information next time

    If the study makes sense, I will. This study was a waste of tax money.

      An expected response. You are someone who looks but does not see. Good luck.
