statistically irrelevant. ... we can forget about any statement which can be made towards reality. ... point proved.
and i repeat: do you have any better numbers? have you done a survey -- at 3 different yearly intervals -- which gives you any evidence to challenge the results there? or is it only other people who have to back up what they say? there are actual numbers which represent the factual reality. a percentage of college freshman have a kindle, and an ipad. i certainly don't claim to know the numbers; but they do exist. and 5.4% certainly sounds like a reasonable estimate -- to me. now, if you wanna dispute that number, that's just fine with me. but where is _your_ evidence? hell, it would be nice if you simply had the balls to _declare_ whether you thought their number was too low or too high, even if you cannot muster any actual evidence of your own... i mean, it's not as if _willfull_blindness_ makes you "superior"... -bowerbird
