    Your comment was understood & is still ignorant of statistics exactly as stated. Calling it opinion means about as much as calling “true is false” an opinion.

      Yes, you have identified the definition of ignorance - I am not a statistician nor did I look up and reference any studies on the subject of sample size (just as no one in this thread has) before I made a comment on the internet.

      Consider my opinion reinvented. In fact, I now agree with @[email protected]. If five hundred is good enough for the electoral college, it’s good enough for statistics.
