Yeah it reminds me of the paper that came out early on about 5G creating covid. It was literally batshit insane. No scientist would put their name behind it, so the only purpose was poisoning the well and leading people away from the 5G - disease connection.
This paper wasn't that level of insane, but there is no way they could think omitting a control on the most important part of the study wouldn't get called out. Putting their careers on the line for what? I don't think they are making a dime.
