Have sat on several horses.

Pet peeve: "boost for scientific accuracy" - you aren't going to get anything that even slightly resembles a representative sample, even if you look at it through dark glasses after 6 beers.

I have previously said that any post containing a poll and asking for boosts to improve accuracy must have "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN" as one of the poll answers, and I stick by that assertion.

#Dewey #Truman #DeweyDefeatsTruman #statistics #sample #poll #polling

Every #Mastodon / #Fediverse poll that includes the text "boost for larger sample size" should be required to have "Dewey Defeats Truman" as one of the poll answers.
