I like that there doing a study about it, but i thought this was already a well established known fact.

Well, OP didn't use the actual title of the paper. This goes into the chemistry of it. It is very well known that heat decarboxylates cannabinoids. Perhaps not as well known (not popularly, nor in the literature) are the specifics of the chemical changes that occur, which molecular bonds break, what other byproducts are created, etc.

From the abstract:

>In particular, most of the CBDA was converted into CBD at 130 °C for 20 min; this CBD was partially transformed to psychotropic THC isomers via cyclization. In addition to THC isomers, cannabielsoin acid (CBEA) and cannabielsoin (CBE) were also observed as minor oxidative transformed products. Based on structural identification and profiling data, thermal transformation pathways of CBDA are plausibly suggested. The results of decarboxylation of ACBs will provide important information on production of neutral cannabinoids, especially CBD, in Cannabis plants and quality control of Cannabis-based products in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

That is like 90+% of studies, known in practice vs proven

This is just sort of confirming the first step in making edibles, but they did it with CBDA -> CBD instead of D9-THC -> THC, right?

No. Read the abstract at the very least. OP wrote this title and it completely ignores what the researchers actually studied.

They have to continually fund the studies in order to keep the people thinking products are in development rather than available.

Then there are the corporate media choking themselves on the words SMOKING POT every instance they mention the plant.

Your comment gives away the fact that you did not read the study...

No. Why would I?

Well, because you're commenting, and the comments section is for people who have things to say that are relevant to the content posted.

Generally not desiring to out yourself as a person who speaks without thinking might be another reason.

Comments sections are for everyone. Speaking without thinking and commenting without reading the article are unrelated. None of this is relevant.
