Not to be splitting hairs, but your initial claim was that they are "merely using the results/conclusions of the study to support or interpret their own interests or phenomena." That's a positive statement: it's basically claiming that they *are exploiting* the study for their own purposes. That's a very different claim than your current negative statement that "their use of the results does not constitute confirmation of the findings," which proposes that they *are not validating* the study.The thrust of these two statements is very different in each case. I wouldn't disagree with the latter but I'm frankly puzzled by the former.
Without taking a stance on the merits of the paper (apart from my fascination with its research problematic), I haven't found anyone either criticizing its procedure or repudiating its results (apart from these very pages, that is). Since in accordance with all basic principles of scientific method the paper is very open in recording the details of its test setup and procedure, in principle anyone can also verify its basic correctness and assess its fundamental flaws. Instead of vague hints about lack of response in one academic corner (but not in some others) constituting a de facto refutation, why not break the silence and tell what's wrong with it, anyone? The floor is open and the audience is waiting and I am already busy making notes.
You're interested in seeing a credible confirmation, I'm interested in seeing a credible refutation; at some point we must compare notes.
