Quote:When getting a feel for what a populous may be afflicted by the interviewers never grab the whole that is effected, they look at a significant percentage of the group and go from there. Take a look at how Polling is done some times. You'll notice that when something is Polled, they take a representative percentage and go from there. The same theory is used here.
It is never a significant percentage of the group though. It's nigh impossible to get the kind of numbers to even get a semi-accurate account of what's going on. This is why polling sucks.
I mean, hell, polling is what screwed the 2000 election up so badly. That and chads, but I digress.
This really is my last post for this thread.:P I'm going home now.
