2. There is a huge red flag in that blog post at the Guardian

What is the name of the study? I reviewed the websites of several of the parties involved and can not find any information on the study being discussed.

It has been my experience that almost without exception, professional bloggers that omit information allowing easy access to the original study are spinning a load of crap. If this is an exception, I'll be happy to withdraw the criticism, but as it stands, the blog post should be regarded as worthless blather, IMO.
