It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Well, english is not my first language, but according to Google (they get their word meanings from Oxford) "confirm" means "establish the truth or correctness of (something previously believed or suspected to be the case)." Perhaps in this specific situation "confirm" has different meaning?
Also, there is a lot wrong how science is communicated in popular media. Taking singular study, coming up with sensational (and incorrect) title and making statements that aren't in line with the study is not the way how science should be communicated. Even if there are multiple news outlets writing numerous such articles doesn't make it right, correct or even acceptable.
definitely not trying to speak well of all popular science titles, just saying that this one seems perfectly acceptable :)
and yeah, that Oxford dictionary isn’t giving you the definition used in the scientific sense, so that’s your problem:
i checked Oxford Learner’s, and the meaning used in this context is number 2 just below what you found.
language is confusing but this is definitely the scientific one the article means.
