'were small and not meaningful' why is this on the front page of HN?

Well, at least it’s spurred intellectually curious discussion.

  • Is it? What I mostly see is people describing their anecdotal experience and opinions about exercise in general.

    I assume that only a few of them are actually in the age group of 65-85, so relevance of personal experience is dubious.

    To be fair there are some questioning the study methodology and conclusions.
