This is exactly the point. This and other studies like it are validating these routes to healing and this guy’s still drinking the Nancy Reagan DARE Kool-Aid. If there’s any truth to his story, then he’s digging his heels in about one piece of anecdotal evidence while ironically suggesting that a study of 300 is too small of a sample size to be relevant.
