    this survey is based on less than 1% of the population.

    Yes, that’s how polls work.

        OK, so something with no citations or methodology is gospel, got it…

        I didn’t say that, now did I? I simply pointed out that criticizing a survey for being based on “less than 1% of the population” is fucking stupid because that’s just how polling works. Got it? Good. We’re done here.

          The article does not clearly cite its sources. ‘Based on 1019 responses’ from who? Sydneysiders? People from the NT?

          This uncited survey from a for profit company, with major shareholders being venture capitalists, asset managers, shitbags, etc. with a history of possible poll manipulation means nothing.

          Was that edited in after the fact? Why are people dogpiling based on that first sentence and ignoring the rest?

          My point of contention was not just less than 1%, it was no citations as well. You just used that part.

          If I ask 1000 ac/dc fans what the best music genre is they probably are not going to say soft rock.
