I actually do believe people have learning preferences, I certainly do anyway. Applying it cross culturally is where things get fucked up I believe since some races literally are not as evolved as others in the mental department so while it looks to be correlated, it doesn't imply causation in my mind since it's something more fundamental at play. The article was thin on specifically why it wasn't the case as well leaving it down to "people being too dumb to understand the neuroscience anyway", essentially.

It's true. People get their information from articles that don't know what they're talking about. Average people don't just read science studies to know how to interpret them.
absolutely, if the author going to discuss it specifically, some examples to illustrate are needed though since I do believe a balance is possible. Instead we have MSM sources taking advantage of the distortion in knowledge to spin a particular narrative or perspective off of. Burden of proof is on the author claiming the point and blanket statements while somewhat true, don't fully illuminate the situation.
