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.
