Um, please tell me Kiln that you don't have a degree in any kind
of math and science. If you do, then I have even less faith in our
public school system than before.
Polling *is* not statistics.
Polling produces data. That data can vary from very flawed to
very accurate.
Statistics involves analyzing the data that was collected from the
polling.
Please read this through until you get it through your ignorant, thick
head.
Then, you can apologize to MisterMJ for being completely wrong in
your fundamental understanding on this basic issue - and in
your feeble, lame attempt at patronizing him in your complete
ignorance.
Your apology seems rather tepid in comparison to the language you used in mistakenly telling me I was wrong. No matter though. This board is tired and tiring. There is no discussion here and nothing good ever comes from what people post and reading the shit posted here has become a giant waste of time. Several of you have made their way into the book so your venom and hatred and animus and absolute lack of grounding in American history has come to some good: it'll help me get tenure. To the good guys here--and there are a few--I wish you good luck and hope you manage to hold the vileness at bay. Better we keep it penned in here than let it out into the real world where it will result in nothing but violence. To the rest of you, I wish you your just deserts (hyperlinked to help the moron who would've come in here to (wrongly) point out I spelled it wrong).
