So they find random pattern in specific data. It wouldn't be bad if their results fit some political agenda, as long as the results are truth. Problem is it's not just a matter of showing results that fit political agenda and remaining silent about ones that doesn't fit. Problem is that almost everything, fits agenda or not, is false, ireproducible random noise. You almost never see the results building on earlier results in social science, like it is in all other sciences. You only see "studies" spewed out like from some kind of social study generator, and none of these matter even to themselves as they are forgotten as soon as they are published.
