I'm not surprised by this: there have been several of such studies over the past 5+ years, all with the same result. This particular study may not be authorative, but multiple of the same studies taken in different countries (and some of them with far more test subjects) all with the exact same result amount to a pretty authorative conclusion: videogames improve a surgeon's hand-eye co-ordination and motor skills.
So much so that if I ever need surgery, I'm asking for a surgeon who plays videogames, plain and simple.
