Yes Peter, I have never met anyone who has taken part in BBC research or been asked their view for an opinion poll (and I do understand about the small sample etc and other areas of statistics). The BBC is dumbing down (they stupidly believe big auidience = quality!)and as Peter sugests no matter how you contact or argue with them they are always right or just ignore your comments. My own bugbear, which brings this thread back on an AR track, is weather forecasts - we are assured all forecasters are scientists yet none of them can explain which scientific law of weather states that sun is good and rain and snow is bad!
