The author of TFA asserts "busy people don't make good decisions" without citing studies or presenting evidence.

You can save a lot of time by ignoring articles like that.

Interesting, I think you're onto something, though others may find it obvious. Any other tricks for filtering time sinks which don't give value without putting the time in?

Who funds the “research” and/or the publication in which it appears.

If one or both of those is a foundation or opaque organisation, who funds it, and what are their interests?

Ahem... Spend less time on HN?

Sorry, yes, "snarky" -- but OTOH, it can really be a huge timesink. (Guess how I know.)
