Yeah, I agree with you on that. I think the article, and even the researchers, are utilizing a lot of word play between violence, aggression, vengeance, retribution, and anger. I think the study can be useful for showing that more research needs to be done in treating aggressive tendencies in people to make sure the proper methods are being used. However, I do not think it's anywhere near debunking conventional wisdom.

Adding the actual FDA link since it's not behind a paywall. Looks like they've looked at data going all the way back to 1973 to assess the efficacy and safety of the dosage. That will be an important bit of knowledge when the inevitable lawsuit comes out "because the FDA didn't do their due diligence."

She’s been especially popular with conservatives, who promoted her as a perfect symbol of how overly theatric and inane progressives can be — like when she attacked the Supreme Court’s affirmative-action decision last week by saying “no Black person will be able to succeed in a merit-based system.” The tweet was viewed more than 27 million times.

There had to be signs before it got this far...had to be. Any word yet on who (or what group) was behind the account? This is like that "liberal leaning" TikTok account that was exposed as being faked. I'm very careful of quoting or up voting any emotionally charged hot-takes on things, especially when I agree with them. It's hard to tell when people are acting in good faith these days.
