Even though the research isn't complete, this information is still good to know. If you happen to have trouble falling asleep after reading on a tablet or laptop, then you have some idea why that might be so, and what you can do about it. Just because some people can fall asleep after using a dimmer device, and they assume that it hasn't affected their sleep, it doesn't make the research results rubbish.
What you write is true, but if you bring a multiplicity of other, stronger effects into play, you may not be observing what you think.

I doubt that I could endure 4 minutes looking at, much less trying to read on, and ipad at 100% in a dark room.
