Including this one?

Since I've seen this paper mentioned a few times now on several different sites and heard varying replies, I'd be very interested in informed opinions about this. I've taken a look at it but don't consider my skill level in statistics high enough to assess the paper on my own.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Can you elaborate as to why? Snark is not really the goal here.

I think just your first post is a snappy reply to the headline, but doesn't seem to address the content of the paper in any way, so I was interested in your specific thoughts about the content of the paper.
