Oh, what does that mean? I just thought one shouldn't make conclusions off an "informal poll" (which is kinda done in the OP). |
You can draw a conclusion from any poll. For example, if I ask 10 people whether they prefer chocolate or vanilla ice cream and 9 say chocolate, then I can draw the conclusion that of those 10 more prefer chocolate. What I cannot do is generalize this to the entire world saying "most people prefer chocolate ice cream."
I see the OP as drawing a conclusion more along the lines of the former though rereading it I see how it sounds like the latter.
