Science is simply common sense at its best that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.

Dissertation Could Be Security Threat
Student's Maps Illustrate Concerns About Public Information

Sean Gorman's professor called his dissertation "tedious and unimportant." Gorman didn't talk about it when he went on dates because "it was so boring they'd start staring up at the ceiling." But since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Gorman's work has become so compelling that companies want to seize it, government officials want to suppress it, and al Qaeda operatives -- if they could get their hands on it -- would find a terrorist treasure map.

I think in the end it would be a good idea to know that you were dealing with at the first place. Like what happened, if the thesis abstract of Sean Gorman became public, everyone just lose their mind about it. And I think having the right thesis topic can really have an impact on the lives of people.
