Personally I feel that these studies have been of great use. They've been highly effective at pinpointing the large number of "Quantum Idiots" out there in the world. All you have to do now to figure out if a person is too dumb to waste any time with is to see how they react to this "research." If they find it believable in any way, you're dealing with a Quantum Idiot, and you can safely write them off as not worth your time. Science is useful sometimes.
