Idk the validity of the research that they did. Like how could they tally up everyone's opinions of these things. They could only have a large group but that isn't always accurate. To be fully believable, they would have needed hundreds of thousands of people surveyed. Also, I find it hard to believe that a word is perceived positively or negatively separate from its actual definition.
