If you want to make a statement about bubbles, then you have to ground it in global perception which is operationalizable and empirically verifiable - speculation isn't epistemologically responsible.
I'm not particularly worried about verification or epistemologically responsibility when something is manifestly obvious. The same reason I'm not jumping out of an airplane without a parachute even if I haven't read a study on the relative effectiveness of parachutes vs no parachutes when jumping out of an airplane.
Sorry, I hate to burst your bubble, but social facts ESPECIALLY need to be tested before being assumed because humans are particularly susceptible to typification, legitimization, and reification.
