That sounds like an important distinction; I appreciate it.

I am kinda assuming the actual study has valid use; I think I probably just found the way it was described off-putting.

But yeah, expert opinion would definitely help here. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This “study” doesn’t seem to provide anything other than a correlation between WFD and cognitive decline. Sample size also seemed low? (125 adults)

Now, if somebody regularly struggles to recall the word they want to use, I don’t argue that “could” indicate cognitive decline. However, it seems far from being a “clear indication”.

Anybody with knowledge in related fields who wants to tackle reading the full published article, I’d be keen to hear your thoughts! But really seems like the linked article overplays the results for dramatic effect…

This is nothing more than a thought terminating cliche. As such, it’s completely worthless.

Edit: lol…funny how y’all talking about…nothing at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, considering he’s had a hard on for nuking Iran since before he was elected the first time…I didn’t think he cares.
