The Paleolithic diet actually doesn't contain any tubers or starchy foods, so potatoes should definitely have been banned from the study. It's true that modern hunter-gatherers eat tubers (and even some fermented grains or raw dairy), but one has to remember that these are Neolithic-era hunter-gatherers, so don't have the same diet as their ancestors in the Palaeolithic.
