Feel free to respond again once you get access. I especially would like to see any articles you can find to back up your assertions as well.
1) That's because, as I asserted before, those articles don't exist.
2) For study 1, their method is sound. It's not damning that they are dealing with an omitted variable here, it's damning that even with an omitted variable, they still can't come up with real results. They have a model that could be completely inconclusive, and could be all-encompassingly powerful, but they can't even begin to say which it is.
In study 2, they make a huge methodological error with their portioning of variance that makes the conclusions suspect at best. It really doesn't make any sense, either, because they could portion the variance explained without forcing it to equal 100% for their categories. But they are making an assumption that all variance explained for the outcome variable is contained within the shock categories they stipulate, which is preposterous.
Again, there are likely other papers that I missed, and I'll gladly look at any you want to put forward.
