Why do threads mentioning NPD bring in people saying America isn't WW?

I almost made a thread earlier today asking that question. I mean, it's really stupid after all...

Only answer I can think of is Damage Control.

This is the result of it. Likewise we could ask why such statistical data limited to one particular area (even if it's a large one like the USA) is presented in the first place. It could very well be interpreted as cherry-picking and for what is cherry-picking usually used? To make one's own position look better than it actually is.

I have to take a look at the thread in question to see what it really was about. The above paragraph is just a general observation.

Well, cherry-picking and PR go hand-in-hand...
