Right. It's not just human subjects research. IRBs vet all kinds of research: polling, surveys, animal subjects research, genetics/embryo research (potentially even if not human/mammal), anything which could be remotely interpreted as ethically marginal.

If we took the case into the real world and it became "we decided to research how many supports we could remove from this major road bridge before someone noticed", I'd hope the IRB wouldn't just write it off as "not human research so we don't care".
