This from the blog Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science, is a more than fair point, I'd say:

"I was reading an article in the newspaper the other day (I think it was about Medicare fraud in New York state, but it doesn't really matter) that presented some sort of result obtained from a 'computer analysis.' A computer analysis? Regression analysis, even statistical or economic analysis, would give at least some vague notion of what was done, but the term computer analysis is about as uninformative as saying that the analysis was done inside an office building."
