In Poland we have a saying from iron curtain times:

It doesn't matter how people vote, it only matters who counts the votes

But NPD doesn't have 100% of the sales and by adjusting their models for the missing sales they can get different results from the same data.

They'll be making some adjustments basically - data has already gone out to clients but there have possibly been disputes or issues over some of the data so NPD will be making tweaks before it goes out to the press.

.......why dont I like the way that sounds?..
