>X subject has fallen/risen in popularity based upon Y study claims.But when you look at the actual study it’s usually one of three things:
1: A small controlled test done on a campus.
2: A company hired to collect data for an analysis.
3: Some US government or private company survey.
Also, the quality and clarity of data collected by these studies can very wildly and some are even skewer to support a biased conclusion. I’d say more often than, in my experience, I have found more studies suffer from one of the two than not.
