While I agree with your point about completely useless reserach, behavioural scientists and medical research scientists are completely different, so studies like this would not be taking away scientists from more 'worthy' pursuits.
That is, unless the key to curing cancer involves finding out how the cancer feels and if it's behavioural patterns are determined by nature or nurture...
