Are you accusing computer scientists of not being able to apply scientific methods? I'm not sure, and I don't want to setup a strawman. Of course there would have to be hypotheses, and they would be tested. Scientific methods are not exclusive to biology. In the study or citizen study I imagine here, a questionnaire would include questions like yours. Crunching the numbers is the means to refute them, then. I don't know what you think CS folks are doing all day?
