so looking at 0.012% of the install base defines what they all did in the past.... nice logic there

yeah, I know how stats work but still, with such a small number of people. not even .1%, you can hardly call that considering how there could be a multitute of variables. For example would be age, yes they say they did 7 yr olds but how many? Location, was it uniform all accross the country or was it in pockets. I know with a lot of scientific experiements, if your trials and treatments are not all mixed together with the same environment, usually your data is not very valid especially if there are not multiple replicates.

Since the survey has been made by the most respected research company in the US, I'd say your fears are unfounded.

I'm sure that they did a good job of reducing their margin of error, as their income and their image depend on it.
