I'm not annoyed in the slightest. I can see a reason to be annoyed if the aim of such research were to establish blame, but I don't see it that way. To some extent whether it's true or not is immaterial. We exist whether that can be explained or not. Even if a correlation could be found, we will never know if it's a random effect or something that has an evolutionary purpose. You could theorise that in a pack species like ours, having later offspring, especially males, uninterested in sex with females provides more individuals to contribute to the livelihood of the pack, but that's something that could never be proven. In any case, the sample in this thread demonstrates that the correlation is weak, much less any causal relationship.
