Yes, but only if you're assuming that only humans connect and all of them use 
modern browsers with good https support.

Many users in the developing world access on an array of kinds of hardware and 
software that we would consider obsolete. Requiring the latest and greatest web 
technologies to access our research isn't going to decrease that development 
gap.

Many tools, from plain server monitoring systems to reference checking systems 
to fancy website thumbnail services just work better and more reliably over 
http than https.
