English term or phrase: nit-picker

A social worker or a nit-picker. Like a sociologist who writes a book called "Sociology of "fill in the blank with something stupid and overly specific"". I just think, "who cares? What difference could that make?" Or I think of demographers who often become tools of advertisers (evil people). But I also know that there are good sociologists who want to change the world - fight the power! [male]
