Everybody's criticizing the study but nobody has actually linked to it and the link isn't in the article. What's up with that (and airline food)? http://m.wox.

The thing that really bugs me isn't that they read undergrad students' diaries, it's that they didn't quantify their findings in a way which could be represented in the abstract, which probably means they weren't quantified well at all. As such we're left with scare quotes (like the diary bits in the article) and the researchers' impression of their findings.
This isn't an unfixable limitation -- one wonders, how much room is there for algorithmic natural language processing in the data analysis here?
