I tried yesterday to explain the problems with polls/surveys when it came to an Apple reliability thread. Basically, I was told by our fellow enlightened Freepers that I was engaging in “insane discourse” because my attack on the methodology might have poked holes in their beliefs.
Sooooo...
All the Trumpettes out there are likely to bash you. Everyone else might see some logic to your post.
Bottom line: people believe polls when they support their beliefs. (And there are some skeptics like myself who view most polls as junk data.)
Yes. The methodology IS important - usually the results of one question becomes the headline, when the entire poll results need to be studied. They really are very interesting.
