I like this explanation: "Cause they used a t-test"

The honest data sharing statement about no data sets being generated is a delightfully honest admission of their results being made up.

Was this an AI generated paper?

Possibly attempted Sokal-style hoax.

how did this get through peer review ??? does no one read the article before it's published?
