Ooooooh good idea, tempting grad students. The only problem is, given the widely-distributed nature of filk, they'd have to travel to cons to get good data ... since a local-area opportunity to study only comes up once a year or so.
Of course, here in Chicago we do have three good filk-positive conventions a year, and lots of grad students.
The 'studying filkers' (or fen period) thing would have to be approached verrrry delicately, though, so as not to turn people off. I like the color-coded-stickers-on-badges thing the filk film project came up with, for example.
