Read the whole thing. I made it clear I wasn't supporting that argument. I was just saying asking ONLY a small number of people is meaningless. Bounce around message boards saying it or don't bother at all. It would be like a candidate for President only telling a school gym to vote for him/her.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
