And how would you fix the "flawed statistical studies" and "BS analyses"? Being critical is easy. Making cogent suggestions for improvements is hard.
E.g. What data do you want? Where can you get it? What tests / analyses do you want them to run? This is a hard bloody problem, so I find "Monday quarterbacking" particularly frustrating -- especially when the priceomics folks are doing a good job of showing / communicating data with documented assumptions.
Adjust for socio-economic background. Separate by majors to avoid Simpson's paradox. And get a group of subjects who haven't been influenced by knowledge about this kind of studies.
