No need to. I'm glad you see my point.
A study like this does have merit in order to demonstrate concerns, but it pays to be somewhat skeptical. As you have said, many folks out there use acrylic primed surfaces; probably MOST that is sold is universal pre-primed canvas stock, I would think. I hardly ever use an acrylic primer, myself, and would never consider it for oils, zinc or otherwise. But, that's just me. Of my own oil paint inventory, none of the whites are exclusively zinc; most are mixtures. I do have some issues with the conclusions they made: "For the time being, it should only be used in paint where the objective is not archival." I think caution is advised, but not complete ommision of zinc content. It depends on how you use it.
