Stastics say that...



I have always wondered why on Earth people conduct some surveys..Afterall how does it matter if 80% of respondents think some goddamn thing is like "A" and rest of them think it is like "B"..Maybe sales surveys and medical surveys do matter and actually serve a purpose. But how does it matter, if 80% people think Matthew McConaughey is hotter than Orlando Bloom or if Mongolia is a more touristy than Tibet..Sheesh!,why can’t people spend valuable time in doing something more useful. The very purpose of such "studies" are not only a preposterous waste of time but also waste of atto meters of brain space of people who are unwittingly bombarded with such useless trivia through websites and newspapers!

But the most interesting thing has to be the way these results would be postulated. Come to think of it, how bonafide are these things.? I for one think 90% of the time in 56.2% of the cases in 60% of surveys they are right!:))..
