If the study was done properly (and I haven't actually tracked it down and read it), they should have controlled for brightness levels. Based on the researchers I work with, I'll give the people that did that study the benefit of the doubt that they did unless I see otherwise. I've sat through enough talks and job talks in my department to know that someone that didn't do that would likely be skewered and roasted slowly over the coals.
Bah, now I think I'm going to have to spend some time tracking it down to read it.
