Good question. :)<br /><br />@Stephanie Barr - I had a really long retort but now it just seems honest and logical, and I know how you hate that. So I won't print it.<br /><br />@Jeff King - Fair enough. :)Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-59932714422996450622010-08-12T17:44:06.482-06:002010-08-12T17:44:06.482-06:00I agree with your commenter’s.I agree with your commenter’s.Jeff Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667419764890599092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-91943212102835568452010-08-12T06:28:45.740-06:002010-08-12T06:28:45.740-06:00It's quite a stretch from me saying I'm le...It's quite a stretch from me saying I'm leery of reading too much into polls to pretending I said they were all phony. <br /><br />Having said that, there's no "statistical science" - just math. Science requires facts and a scientific process. It must be reproduce-able independently and demonstrate a natural phenomena. <br /><br />Polls are more likely to describe how opinions are influenced by the environment.
