Why do you "take it" that that's a projection? In fact, it's a statistic based on a house-by-house census.

Show me the census.

Fatalis, you asked me to make three statements on cultural phenomena that are not generalizations. I assumed you wanted an example of such a statement, so I gave you one. Of course the statistics (1.5%, etc.) are not real, but surely you know that many statistics are based on house-by-house censuses rather than projections.

Probably, if you and I met face to face, we could find a lot to agree on. I think we're both better than this discussion. Agreed? (Extending hand for shake.)

Oh, OK, so you lied. LOL

Most cultural stats aren't gathered by a census, but I'll concede you found an exception to my generalization that most cultural information is going to come to us in the form of generalizations.

Generally.
