When I complained of the study author's poor writing, I was referring to his blog post. 'Way too many words, and he was too much in love with them.
As far as the study, I wish they had put a little more effort into the sample stories. Simply inserting militaristic and technological components in place of civilian and ordinary ones was lazy. Maybe if they had done the so-called SF one first, then modified it. Better yet, they could have used a different genre that required more careful alterations. (mystery, romance, intrigue, etc) I think their slapdash preparation makes their results less reliable.
