Yeah but he talked to 290 women! That's a lot of data...

  Also the 25% number is from the article itself and represents measured empirical data from that pretty large sample set. One could say with more precision, 25% of hooker hookups in Manhattan come from Facebook and there is just cause for that, it's not a fabricated headline. If one wants to then say it doesn't even stand for Manhattan because there was not a survey of all prostitutes, one would have to discard pretty much every national survey result and medical study under the same reasoning.

That would be a good idea. But see Peter Norvig (director of research at Google) for what else would be desirable in most research studies: http://norvig.com/experiment-design.html http://norvig.com/experiment-design.html
