The point is that a lot of people don't realize this.

And studies like the one you linked don't help. It gets people to associate addiction with a substance, not an action. That just perpetuates the notion that addicts are victims to the substances themselves, not the real cause. This man was an addict who turned to alcohol and MDMA. He was not turned into an addict BY alcohol and MDMA.
