Uh how's that old saying go? Something like, "figures lie and liars figure" I believe - and this tripe proves it.

1. "58 percent of respondents said they knew of cases where high-level Commerce Department appointees or managers inappropriately altered NOAA Fisheries determinations."

   Sounds bad doesn't it, but that 58% is horse hockey. Out of the 460 NOAA Fisheries scientists across the country only 27 percent responded (124) so that 58% is only 72 people and it's only 15.6% of all the scientists.

2. Then we have, "53 percent said blah, blah, blah". That's only 66 people and only 14% of all scientists.

3. The "13 percent said they knew of cases ... blah, blah" is only 16 stinking people and a whopping 3.5% of all scientists.

4. Last we have "44 percent said NOAA Fisheries .. (whatever). That's 55 people and a lousy 12% of all 460 scientists.

Ergo this survey is utterly meaningless. How can they even publish it when only 27% even responded? They might as well have taken this 'survey' around their dinner table!
