Science is very boring stuff that only white coats get turned on by.
To get government funded reasearch grants, you need to come up with some trumped up study proposal that aattempts to show some correlation between some disadvantaaged persons (poor dumb kids, poor criminals etc etc) and some potential cause.
There is no need to follow scientific methods (and indeed such boring practice is discouraged). It has to be grockable by some social sciences type person.
Perhaps the Chavvettes (??chav girls??) can blame the phone for making them preggers too? After all, most of them only got pregnant after using a phone.
But, being fair, even keen medics, who really want to make a difference, have insufficient statistical training to make proper cause and effect studies.

Of course it isn't Science
