I assume that the authors of the paper want to change minds; if so, they should have titled and approached this topic differently. Research shows pretty conclusively people don't change their minds when directly confronted with a conclusion contrary to their preferred one.
Instead, I would suggest titles like "How much productive work does the government subsidize for welfare recipients?" with the surprising answer inside. Or even "An analysis of lazy welfare recipients" if they're willing to take backlash from more social-aid minded colleagues who only read the title.
