Well you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but the narration starts with a handful of assumptions that they later find to be untrue. "Correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation" kind of stuff. While I'm not in love with the architecture, I think the study makes perfect sense. Some of the conclusions made in the related book had some influence in the NYC Dept. of City Planning.
