I'll trust a walk in the sun and spending time in the half-shade much more than any kind of concentrated vitamin pill. But I guess we all take our chances.
Vitamin D production is not a simple effect of light falling upon your skin. Perhaps you'll reread your link at notice the part where D levels were unaffected in both groups - now read back a few pages to the part where I explained why that is so.
"Trusting" in the sun to do something that it does not do...is strange, to say the least. Do you think that a giant ball of gas is something that needs to be trusted...or is in the business of doing something for your benefit that deserves trust? If you're in an area, at a time, and meet the biological requirements that are involved in the production of D from UV, 10 minutes in the sun will do (and then some). If you are not, take the pill, drink the milk....do whatever.
