The article apparently is very long assertion backed up by a few anecdotes.
In other words, there's no research at all to back it up, and it might as
well been an essay titled "Why cats are better than dogs". Its easy, just
follow these steps:

1. Make up a title that sounds interesting.
2. Interview a few people with anecdotes that support your argument. With
tens of millions of people out there it shouldn't be too hard.
3. Find someone with a title like "Researcher", or a "Dr" in front of their
name to quote to lend credibility. It doesn't matter if they actually agree
with you or not, just get something to quote.
4. Edit all the bits of interview and personal opinion together and presto--
an article suitable for print!
