An interesting question for me is, What is the motivation behind the study,...who is funding the study.
The motivation? How about just plain old curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Exploding myths is a time honored scientific pursuit.

If "popular wisdom" on a subject is flawed, wouldn't you want to know about it?
