That method is for long-grain rice used in other parts of Asia, simply unfit for Japanese rice(or vice versa). It's just their highly British form of humor and customary jest.

I'd suggest Brits ban full leaved teas in favor of microwaved teabags while at it.

The study is a British joke? What are you talking about?

It seems to work with all rice, just with varying effectiveness.

Why do you think the study is targeting Japan? And why would the Brits joke about it?

Do you think I am? It's just good, general info. Arsenic in rice is problem, and getting worse.

I wonder why you would claim something like this, which literally can save lives, is false?
