The study did reach that conclusion. Although some of the research assumptions and data were questioned by others
Whether the conclusion is valid today is a different matter. Have you read the report?

I would like to think so... and the report's authors believe they have taken time and history into account

In any case, in the past very few years there has been such a change in elephant exhibit design and elephant husbandry in North America, that it will be 40 years yet before the current situation can be evaluated!
You may try to correct or update this.
In my experience, Wikipedia is full of sh*t. In particular, emotive topics, like anything related to animal rights, are a sort of an endless battle. You go morning - a peta filled the page with nonsense. Next morning - opposite views. etc etc.
If somebody has time, he/she can correct some info. Be aware however, that it is constant task - these articles keep changing forever.
(Hmm, I can understand that political topics can change daily. But is it a sign of reliability, that Wikipedia info on elephants and lions changes daily?
)
