I would pinpoint this:

Our research does not reject the notion that individual behavior and decision-making may directly relate to upward economic mobility. Instead, we narrowly conclude that biased decision-making does not alone explain a significant proportion of population-level economic inequality

It was kinda obvious to pretty much everyone but it's still nice (and important) that there's an actual study confirming this.
