I would also note . . . that in terms of solid statistical results, the sample size is not near as important as whether the sample is REPRESENTATIVE of the population in terms of all the variables being measured and in terms of holding all the other variables equal or random.

Yes, yes. And how are you going to indicate how representative of 1.2 billion plus people across the world a sample in some hollow of the United States would be. I would advise my Protestant friends to untuck their heads from their navels and consider that the world is not the county of the United States that they grew up in.

More gross distortions from the Vatican AIWSOTARM edifice.

I already noted more than once that stretching the solid stats from many representative samples ALL ACROSS THE USA [not just a hollow, as intimated],

Was a huge extrapolation. That was written as a tweak to hopefully provoke some candid RC's to dig up global statistics.

Obviously, quite understandably, if there are such, the deluded of the Vatican Alice In Wonderland School Of Theology And Reality Mangling are quite allergic to presenting OR discussing such global statistics. Those regarding the USA are quite horrid enough to keep them with their thumbs in their mouths--except to throw out absurdly outrageous asides trying desperately to derisively dismiss the solid statistics presented.

When will they ever learn.

Those straw dogs won't hunt.

IT IS QUITE COMFORTING, HOWEVER, to see them keep bringing a nearly dry tiny water pistol to a firehose fight.
