I don't think that's how science/academia works. There is no such thing as a perfect study, there are always non-idealities and noise in the data. Good studies make well-justified efforts to account for these, OP is saying they don't believe this is the case here.

Regardless, your assertion that "oh well, the models will be totally different in a few months anyway, therefore any study done today is pointless" seems more than a stretch. How do you know they will be so different? How can you verify that today's studies are completely irrelevant?
