NSF Report Flawed; Americans Do Not Believe Astrology is Scientific

This is interesting in so far as it shows how easy it can be to reproduce and cross check serious studies (after all a real published NSF study) and possibly find small hidden flaws in it. Mechanical turk may be questionable but in this case it provided a simple and efficient and unbiased way to validate and extend the original study.

I'd like to see more of this.
