Did you read her conclusion? It's not all that serious, just a cute bit of fun. Nothing wrong with that. Besides, everything is data already; regular boring introspection is just "data mining" with terrible sample sizes because of memory, and bad statistics because of biases. ;)

I wasn't specifically referring to her analysis, indeed as you point out with those sample sizes and the number of potential conflating factors it's unlikely this data is statistically worth anything -

I was commenting more on the general approach, of evaluating ones actions or choices within the context of a statistical framework.
