Limitations are not properly acknowledged in the scientific literature

What is this about?

This study discussed how only 17% of 400 articles published in 2005 in journals with the highest number of citations used words 'limitation', 'caveat' or 'caution' in their texts, only 1% of articles used the word 'limitation' in their abstracts, whereas not one article mentioned limitations of their research that had impact on their conclusions.

For whom is this important?
