As the first author on the salmon paper, yes, that was exactly our point. Researchers were capitalizing on chance in many cases as they failed to do effective corrections to the multiple comparisons problem. We argued with the dead fish that they should.
Nothing to add to this conversation in particular, but just wanted to say - truly amazing paper. Well done!

Arguing with a dead fish may be a sign you're working too hard :)
