Do you really think people making studies giving numbers to trends that are already widely known would make a difference? Most people pick up this kind of data intuitively but would never consider memorizing a table buried in the middle of a research paper. Having the figures just makes it easier to learn empathy in a systematic way. (Which, incidentally, few people would even be capable of.)
I suspect not everyone knows every trend. Lots of high class people might not know about straight edge punks. I also suspect that someone will write a pop-sci book about it if it interesting.
