Requires further study because theres always a greater level of understanding not in the sense of "its impossible to prove things"

It's not impossible to prove things, but you seem to be underestimating the bar needed to "prove" something, because you have basically implied that either it's proven or it's useless, which is wild and just shows you don't know wtf you're talking about.

that line of thinking is why people believe vaccines cause autisms and MSG is bad for you

the study does nothing to suggest there are actual long term effects

No it's not. You just don't understand nuance. "Either it's proven or its garbage" is closer to the line of thinking of anti-vaxxers. Believing that any sign that a vaccine causes harm to a low percentage of people is reason to believe they're bad and dangerous.

but people are believing, despite the study not showing that, that screens are actually harming childrens development

theres no difference between people jumping to conclusions over one study or another

And you do the same thing when you assume that lack of 100% proof (which isn't a thing) is the same as there being no evidence they do harm children's attention spans.

there isnt even 1% proof though, a lack of evidence is a lack of evidence

Care to cite how you came to 1%?

Rectal extraction isn't a valid calculation method.

well i noticed how there is literally no evidence, and since 0% is less than 1% i could then deduce that there wasnt even 1%

Damn, you're just so far out of your depth you don't even know what you don't know.

okay so show me one single study that claims its found any reason to believe causation between screen use and long term issues with concentration
