Researchers say dumb thing

I saw this today on physorg.com:
Has your memory failed you today, such as struggling to recall a word that's "on the tip of your tongue?" If so, you're not alone. New University of Michigan research indicates that "tip-of-the-tongue" errors happen often to adults ages 65-92. In a study of 105 healthy, highly-educated older adults, 61 percent reported this memory mishap.
I think what happened here is that 39% forgot that they experience this sort of forgetfulness. Everyone on planet Earth experiences "tip-of-the-tongue errors" now and then. What absurd "research".
