This 44 percents says a lot about scale of study and it's makes me uncomfortable that someone actually wanted to make people sniff women's tears for no reason at all

Just because the reason isn't obvious doesn't mean it's not real. They probably had some indication of what to expect even before they started the experiment. That's where a lot of hypotheses come from in the first place.

"for no reason at all"
