"they just buy it because flatscreens look cool"

who cares why they buy them. They buy millions of them. 2 years ago nobody had them now 25-36% (I don't see why your link should be more believable) have a HD set. Besides these are the households with more money.

So I hope we can agree that we have a lightning fast transition to HD capable TVs (nobody buys them?). It is true though (and nobody did deny it) that many of these HDTV owners have no HD inputs but this will change once HD players get into DVD player pricerange and people get accustomed to the new technology. A couple years ago LCDs were luxus items.

 Yours was way back in like June, mine was in Novembrr, much more likely to be accurate since figures are more up to date, anyways, even if we assume 30% for the sake of argument (that's like 33 million households at most), that is still a small amount, espeially considering that HDTVs are pretty much the only one availible like Nintendownsmii mentioned, and the fact that most people do not know about HD signals and input devices, the adoption is going to be much slower than you believe, because most people don't know of a difference and will have to be forced into it
