Thanks for this. I read the title, and my thought process was:

"I agree".

Then:

"There's no way the study backing the article is good enough to draw meaningful conclusions. This is clickbait."

Then:

"I guess if i'm going to be intellectually humble I should still read the article."

I think based on your comment I can safely skip the read, and save myself some time. Intellectual humility is one thing, but I can go read something with a higher probability of being informative instead.

There's more to it than the excerpted quote. It's worth a read. The article does not breathlessly treat any of the studies it discusses as the word of the flying spaghetti monster, and it does a good job of presenting a broader perspective on the question.

One study showing the opposite result likely means that all of their results comes from confounding variables.
