In this day and age, "research" can well mean "a bunch of us thought about it and did our best to confirm our theories". It's sort of science light.

I blame it on some sort of internet interest bias.

I foresee that the futurists of the future will also be wrong.

Could be used as an early warning system. If you suddenly find yourself with a marshmallow in your mouth, you know you better reconsider doing whatever crime/terror you originally planned. Sort of a heads up. "We're watching you. We know all about you. Next time won't be as pleasant. We know what sweets you don't…

Borderline typocalypse.
