Billions of people have been using computers for decades. They are not going blind. There is no epidemic of insomnia. At the same time, there are thousands, who claim, that looking at monitor with adjusted gamma feels more pleasing and helps their sleep. Why are they saying so?
Instead of studying the actual phenomena (different monitor gamma acting as signal to sleep) the "researchers" went out of they way to confirm something, their sponsors wanted them to confirm. Circadian rhythms? Nah, never heard about those — let's just check for retina damage and eye strain after brief 2hr period.
