My rule for analyzing social science is: “it's bullshit till proven otherwise.”.

The simple fact is that I cannot ever think of any solid methodology to investigate a “link” between these two things and that the man who devises it would deliver a rather groundbreaking idea.

How would a study such as this even work?; it's all Quatsch.

The only difference between your view and mine is this:

> till proven otherwise

It's still bullshit even if proven otherwise. If I roll my magic dice and determine that it's going to rain tomorrow, and it ends up raining, this in no way validates my methodology.
