author cites less than 5 studies... one of them measures the effect of melatonin supression with 1 hour of blue light exposure. one of the links they posted studies the effects on rats and here's a segment of it,

>Indeed, direct investigations of human circadian resetting reveal that low-intensity, short-wavelength light (460 nm) produces smaller responses than longer wavelength light (555 nm) of equivalent melanopic illuminance [3]. These data are therefore consistent with the circadian effects of color we identify in mice.

feels like a conclusion out of cherry pick & misunderstanding of stuff they read
