Reminds me of TV ads
These "studies" remind me of the goofy TV ads.

Like the pasta pots that have holes in the lid to drain the pasta. Great idea, and if the pan itself was better quality, I'd buy one. Buit look at the ads. The people using the "old" was to drain pasta have to be the clumsiest(or dumbest) ever.

And the new one for a paint roller where you put the pain inside a big roller. In one of the examples, they show an over full tray with a normal roller completely submerged in paint. This one is funny too, be cause they offer a "free" trim tool and guess what, it's a small, standard style roller and pan! Guess the roller and tray isn't so bad after all.
