So… some activity is better than none

As a general rule of thumb yeah. Inactivity is a killer, literally. You can never retire from physical fitness.

Yup. I remember being depressed a few years back and spent all day everyday for a week on my pc and didn't exercise or even try to do anything else. It was in rough shape. Even my 30min walk to work which is a non issue, gave me trouble as my legs got weirdly sore and my feet were killin me

Yes! Don't discount the article just because it seems obvious, though - part of science is also quantification.

This paper is about a much more specific question than just "is it better to not stay still for a long time" or whatever you think you're being clever about. Actually bother to read the abstract at least.

This is exactly why people dismiss a lot of science. They don't understand how important it is to distinguish anecdotal or hypothetical results from empirical ones. Or that it's usually more complex than they realise.

You’re getting very emotional over a minor article
