one has to be very attentive to results based on percentages.
The larger the population the more opportunity to highlight almost anything/any subject.
One needs to know the objective of the study, assumptions made, how/where the data was gathered, how consolidated and a statement as to the demographics of the area being studied.
In too many cases some studies extrapolate data and present it as a general representation......when it may not be.
Studies/polls/statistics can prove ANYTHING!!!!
