This is true. You have to look at the big picture. Case studies report

It's sad to see people so invested in junk science. Every time you see
someone use the "foam hat" schtick, it's an excellent indication that
they're about to lie again. They have utter contempt for the concepts of
facts, logic, science, and statistics because in contradicts what they
want, but know isn't, true.
