Data mining in general, or specifically this sort of data mining? I don't know about this specific kind, but the general notion is alive and well.

Also, it could be that doing this sort of thing well is very time-consuming and low-yield - How long did it take him to find that connection, and how many connections could he have found in that same data, if they were there?
