Well, then, that speaks more to the quality of the research if an entire section is devoted to slagging a specific editor, and what you're suggesting is that the research really should be interpreted as "we have this one guy who keeps using this word, plus a rare occasional other editor who uses it, and we're going to group all obscenities together and use it to slag off the guy we're ticked off with".
This isn't claimed to be journalism, it's claimed to be research, and it needs to be held to a higher standard. The more I'm reading this, the more I'm finding it problematic.
