Here's where I'm at dude. You are quoting at me the guy who talks about science for Nerdist.com (a nice guy but someone with a bachelor's in civil and environmental engineering and a masters in science communication) to disprove the conclusions made by a professor of psychology at University of Washington who's published 50 publications within the last ten years, been cited more than 4000 times, and has a plethora of awards including a genius grant. Take this from a scientist, this lady is a rising star in her field and I would need quite a bit of evidence before I believe she's just a dipshit who doesn't know how to analyze her own data.
I mean just look at this shit: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=4hwc6fwAAAAJ
This is a person that lives and breathes this kind of analysis every second of every day. To think you or I can come into her field and assume we know better than her and the peers in her field that reviewed her manuscript and approved it for a reputable journal is just nuts.
