If she’s doing human research, she’d have to get sign off from an institutional review board who’d require that her experiment doesn’t cause lasting harm or discomfort to the participants. You know, the opposite of what she’s doing when she’s trying to get views by causing a confrontation.
Scientists are bound by these weird things called ethics, which is why there’s never been a laboratory experiment showing that smoking causes cancer in humans.
By no means did I mean to defend or condone her actions, nor to say it was ethical or respectable. Sorta like how a child’s experiment to learn about volcanoes from a very basic and unpolished level.
That’s the thing about your original question, though: this isn’t an experiment in a social-sciences sense. It fails categorically in ethics, rigor, and investigative purpose: in all meaningful research senses.
She’s just fucking around with people to get views, and maybe she’s finding out.
Right, I think we’re in agreement. I apologize if my tone was harsh: It’s not because of your question but because her asshole approach to everyone else is selfish and infuriating.

All that’s to say, she’s a grade A moron.

That’s why I was asking, though; I didn’t know and needed to hear from someone who understood what the qualifiers were so that I could learn.
