My point was not to deflect anything.  I'm simply pointing out that a
survey of 19 is hardly anything to use as a basis for anything.

I did not "attack" you, and have no intentions of doing so.  I think
your survey is an excellent idea, and I'm honestly curious about how
long it will take you to get a sampling large enough to be worth looking
at.

If anything is "unfortunate", it's that the world we live in is so full
of conflict that an honest question can be misinterpreted as an attack.
