    My suspicion is that they used the poisson family instead of the binomial family. This would work, and combined with robust standard errors would make as much sense (or as little, depending on your preferences) as a linear probabilty model.

    The number of independent variables is irrelevant, all that matters is whether you get predicted values larger than 1.

      Thanks Maarten! This is really an important lesson to learn.
