Actually, I think it’s a clever way to save their industry in a changing culture. Show scientific benefits. It’s what I’d advise. :)

I do a shit ton of handwriting, digital writing, hand-diagrams, digital drawings, I do everything.

But I can guarantee the conclusions showing that handwriting is "better" loaded that conclusion into study design.

Right. They were comparing 2 variables: handwriting and typing. Combinations of diff kinds would prob show diff/more complex results

Many major disruptive techs have had "experts" manufacturing research showing it is "scientifcally" bad/nonsense.

Yeah, I’ve seen the crap research you are probably referring to. Digital tech is not ‘bad’ for you. It’s all in how you utilize it.
Replying to
It's not bad-faith. Their bad assumptions are baked into their very institutions and methodologies.
