It sure doesn't! I might devise an epitaph with "6.93" in it. Before I descend to the 6.93 circles of hell... ;)

He didn't really handle differences of opinion very well. I'm sure if he was here now he would berate me for that viewpoint, at least 6.93 times.

You do have to look at how the questions were asked or even in what order. I've got a textbook from a survey sampling course I took that has some examples of historical polls where you could get a big difference just by changing the order of questions. Yes that's true.

But that's not because of sample size. Here's the thing: Think about election polls and what they look like shortly before the election. When you see the "margin of error" that's a 95% confidence limit. If it's + or -3 that's 95% confidence that the truth is within + or -3 from the poll result. But what you're saying when you do 95% confidence intervals is that you expect that over a large number of repetitions the true result will be outside of the 95% confidence interval about 1 in every 20 times. How often do you see the true election result fall outside of the 95% interval for polls taken just before the election?

When you see that margin of error it's not saying the truth IS within that margin. It's saying that it's a margin constructed in a way so as to expect that the truth will fall within the margin about 19 in every 20 times such a margin is generated. I've followed it for many years...I mean looking at what the polls say about elections and what happens. And i think they do very well. They MORE than achieve what they represent themselves as achieving by virtue of those margins of error.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
