Survey Research: A pathway to "science" for mediocre people

Look at the following -
Does god answer prayer? ASU research says 'yes' - article
Women drawn to men with muscles: UCLA survey - article
Coping with the Stress of the Terrorist Attacks: A survey study - article
All these are Scientific publications. Imagine that, Scientific publications!
Want to be a scientist and publish hundreds of papers? Flunked your analysis and quantum mechanics courses in your college? Never mind, you can still become a bona fide scientist.
All you need is a grounding in statistics and a familiarity with statistics programs which can do the boring work for you. Become a psychiatry/ behavioral science/ sociology (what the hell is it anyway) /biology (like health care) "researcher". Sit around twiddling your thumbs and think of surveys which you can get your minions to do. Put up notice boards in universities offering money for anyone who participates in your survey. Any inane thing will do. "Hmm.... Women are attracted to men with muscles.... Let's study it "scientifically".... Let's get "data" and "prove" the "hypothesis"...." Yay, we have a paper!
While the rest of us here are busting ourself working like idiots, looking at the bandwidth of a waveplate with aberrations, the structure of a complexity class and its subsets and other things which require some actual, honest work, people like you can get free tenure and publications. One or two surveys a month, that's it!
Bah.
