I came across a slideshow highlighting parts of a recently published Tridactyl paper. What’s a sensible way to judge whether its takeaways are well supported?
What should I make of this Tridactyl slideshow?

Use the slideshow as a guide to what to check, not as a substitute for the paper. For each main takeaway, look for the underlying observation, how it was measured, and whether the authors explain other possible interpretations. Claims that depend on unusual materials or testing would need clear methods and results to assess.

There isn’t enough detail here to say what the paper actually found or whether its conclusions hold up. The description only says the slideshow highlights interesting parts. If you share a specific claim or result from it, people can discuss that without guessing at the paper’s contents.
