Well, what a surprise.
Just about any Cognitive Psychologist or Human Factors Psychologist could have predicted that outcome.
It really is a pity that the MS-UK rewrite of the Kessler abstract was done by people without any research experience:
Furthermore, the results revealed that subjective and objective fatigue were independent variables
Independent variables are those set by the experimenter(s),
NOT factors that emerge from the research, or (dependent) variables that are measured against the independent variables so that future predictions can be made.
It is also a pity that the formal abstract was not given. It would have been interesting to see if there were any comparisons between (say) cognitive loading and workload, since there are good ways of determining workload under a wide range of conditions
