Some frequentists (not they) do those things. Most others are busy with good work, e.g. discovering things like the Higgs. (Concerning ESP, this also springs to mind.)
I think they discovered the Higgs in spite of being frequentists (or, more likely, of paying lip service to frequentism), not thanks to being frequentists.

Is this a fair representation of frequentists versus bayesians? I feel like every time the topic comes up, 'Bayesian statistics' is an applause light for me, and I'm not sure why I'm supposed to be applauding.
