I think what the poster was getting at is that finding a minimum is a negative way to view human health (what is the minimum amount of food a human needs to survive, what is the minimum I need to brush my teeth so they don't fall out of my head, etc.).
Restructuring society in healthy ways (shorter work weeks, bike lanes, green cities, etc.) will allow us to achieve whatever that minimum would have been (had we measured!) and more!
At least I think that's the distinction.
The only time I prefer to sit is after I have done a good deal of exercise. I don't mean that as a jab of any sort, just a differing perspective from someone who gets much more than a minimum of required exercise.
I skimmed the important parts of the paper. This is akin to finding that cigarettes reduce stress. Any smoker/former smoker will tell you this is true (in the immediate sense).
Does that give any weight to the stance that smoking is good for you and society at large? No.
Consistency of style in the general sense is what designers wish to avoid. Consistency of browser behaviour and default style, on the other hand, is the grail from which creativity can flourish unbounded on the web.
That's the stench of continuous public cannabis use, which even as a cannabis user, I don't like. Unless you are smoking in your house, the stench does not last.
