They couldn't even manage to compare yogurt with yeast vs yogurt without?

If the yogurt + yeast mixture had a noticeable effect then it would have been interesting to tease apart which component was responsible, but since it didn't I think it was fine to leave it out.

If you're deciding what to test based on your results, you're doing it wrong. Methodology needs to be decided on before the experiment. If you want to change what you're testing, you do it in a separate experiment.

When I worked there, we drank on the job fairly frequently. :)
