@bigdaddy

Haven’t read all the argument but using samples to make inferential claims on population has been widely used and accepted in all fields of science. Medicine, engineering - you name it. Adequate sample size is however needed and it depends on the maximum error. Size of population is not a factor at all when determining sample size. Any high school student on the subject will tell you that.

Anyone can ofcourse disagree with the results - it does not make the survey or the results invalid. Its not economical to survey all the population sometimes just not possible.

The problem is accepting results as valid to make headline news when a very small population is selected out a huge total population. Not that I needed to know that populaion is not a factor.

The article itself acknowledged selection was not random. It only took 2000 (out of about 180 millions) skewed urbanised people and the truth is out of those 2000 people, 85% said/or recorded as yes. Not what OP thinks.

OP came out and said in her first post.
