“So you think they DON’T?.. i.e. make up things?..”
I’ve known that since the Reagan years.
I wrote, “Pollsters who would go that far would just make up data if they couldn’t actually collect it.”
Here’s the way the grammar works:
A girl who would chew gum would swear.
A girl who would swear would smoke.
A girl who would smoke would drink.
And we all know what a girl who would drink would do.
Or so the nuns taught my mother back in the nineteen-teens.
What I was saying was:
A pollster who would distort data would fabricate data.
And we all know that they do both.
LoL...
