The thing is you don't actually need a super-dooper study of whatever university to find out basic stuff.You only need to talk to people.You smile nice,you haggle over the price of whatever crap you're buying.You say ''thank you''in their language(you can learn basic phrases while flying from conversation guide).You drink a coffee,ask a simple question(e.g ,''pardon me for asking,but you seem such a nice person.I think somebody stole my X.Do you think it's worth to go to police?'') .You'll get a litany over what folks think of the police.A small crowd will gather and you'll see them nod in approval.They absolutely hated the police.:)
Do that in a dozen towns and 2 dozens shops and cafeterias and you pretty much have a poll.
Your SF folks actually walk the ground and talk to people.The rest just sits on their butts and type some bogus report.They don't know the language,don't like the people,don't show respect for their ways(you don't have to respect them, pretending is enough).Here comes the mighty general,commander of AFRICOM saying ''it's unaccepatble units trained by US switch sides''.No sh!t,General,sir.
Sorry,for the rant.
