    So basically, you admit everything in the article is likely special interest driven bs, but that’s ok because you don’t like when people point out that you are being lied to?

    Makes sense.

    Doesn't matter what I write you will think what you will and that is your right.

    This is not a study and we should stop calling it a study. It’s an opinion piece that’s been dressed up to convince people it’s a study.

    An echo chamber would be "$17.33 per mile? Makes sense. No further questions."

    It's good to be skeptical of all studies, and perhaps even more skeptical of how those studies are presented in the media and then conveyed on social media by others as reflecting this or that. Also true there is always some bias and well, science is steeped in probability--but I think the bigger problem with bias is not in the science itself (though not saying it's not a problem) but in the way others interpret it. In any case, the study cited in the op uses numbers but it's not science and the authors make no effort to even hide their biases.
