That may be your intuition, but it’s certainly not everyone’s, hence the studies… Many people will intuit heavier weight = more effective.

It's not my intuition, it's just knowledge about processes in nature.
Almost nothing reacts to changes smaller than an order of magnitude to anything. It's one of the best rules of thumb.
Except that this is something that was well established before, making this study pointless.
