You can always try to interpret the studies your way and everyone thinks he is smarter than the system - until the kid gets hurt. Everybody thinks just a little more goes and then the arm breaks. Andrews reaearch might not be perfect but I would be wary of using bro science to justify erring on the risky side. Better to err on the conservative side.
Gotta ask - what evidence are you talking about that points towards those factors being the culprit? I'm also not familiar with the term "bro science" but I'm sure guys like Dr. Andrews, Dr. Fleisig, Dr. Niessen, and Kyle Boddy probably don't categorize their work as "bro science." Just a guess.
