Humans have a soft spot for collecting data. We have had people counting "how many black spots do I see looking directly at the sun" daily since 1749.
For a moment I thought you meant that there's a group of people looking at the sun and counting black spots that persist in their vision after doing so, then I realized how dumb that was and that you probably were talking about sun spots. That moment of confusion really got me going though.
Admit it, you wanted to see the data during that moment.
