      A lot of social sciences is about generating and constructing data to prove something that seems obvious to most casual observers.

      Part of why is cases like this - that despite it seeming evident to many folks, there are many others who insist that poor people are to blame for being poor, and bad individual decision-making is the only reason that poverty exists.
