One other point which might not be proper in your rigorous and evidence driven paper is that these authors would simply lie about their data and findings if they needed it for their narrative. I see no way to trust them even if the paper didn't have so many overt and obvious deficiencies.
I am using your articles to teach my students Critical Thinking & Fact Checking (and also bias supported by fact!).
Thank you
The best dissection of a terrible paper yet...
