It says nothing about the original study. We haven't read the original study so we don't know how it was presented, or what conclusions were purported. All we know is what the Science Daily reporter plucked from the study and the conclusions he made. That's why it's important to look at what people who have seen it have to say.

I find it depressing that there are cases of fraud. Mistakes I can understand, and hope they would be discovered and corrected. But the cases of fraud make all research papers suspect, to me.
