No, you've confused the point here! That a study showed that is not convincing, but rather, a symptom of the lack of strong and consistent evidence that they are effective. Nobody thinks they make it worse (unless you engage in risky behavior as a result, of course).

The confusion on the benefits does not extend from positive to negative infinity. But given the conflicting recommendations and results on the spectrum of ineffective to effective, it's hard to escape "confusing".
