Surgeons Playing Video Games

CNN have a very interesting article about a study indicating that surgeons who play video games perform better surgery. But this article is interesting not only because of that conclusion, which in itself is perhaps not so surprising, but because of some extra commentary bolted on at the end. There are five sentences right at the bottom of the article all with a very strong tone warning about the dangers of excessive gaming amongst children. This is totally disconnected to the rest of the article, which suggests to me its usefulness as a piece of cultural 'evidence' for underlying negative societal attitudes towards gaming.
