Yeah, we are in agreement on that point! I am slightly sceptical though, I really can't see a mechanism here. Replication of the result would be most interesting.
Skeptical of being able to discriminate between sexual orientation using facial characteristics in general or being able to do so in the timeframe suggested in this study? The former is backed by a fairly large research base, so I assume the latter?
In the timeframe and reduced information faces presented in this study specifically, yes.
