    In academia it is normal not to directly spell out things that are obvious to a person with academic knowledge on the subject, research papers are meant for scholars, and they are supposed to be able to read and understand the consequences for themselves.

    So you can’t use it as an argument that it isn’t spelled out, if it can be easily derived by a person who understands the subject.
    Research papers do not spell out every possible consequence of their findings.

      It isn’t spelled out because it is not a logical conclusion at all. Nothing in this test requires critical thinking to achieve.

      Why are you defending an obviously terribly written article?
