Why not try reading the linked article?

I did but I’m not a scientist and I don’t know how to interpret the full study either. I’m asking a legitimate question based on the abstract. I’m trying to understand something and I get downvoted instead.

What happened to this community?

I thought the abstract was pretty readable. There have been many articles on this and the site as well.

HN has a weird philosophy and has always been downvote happy. Wouldn’t take it personally, think of people trying to get the best comments to the top, and have limited tools. Still, when HN is good it’s the best.

Rereading your comment it kinda has a “please do my homework” vibe.
