Surveys
Surveys are loaded with opinions, untruths and non-facts. Is the glass half full or half empty? Not sure, how would it benefit me or the media frenzy at this time? Facts can and will be changed. A hundred percent can mean ALL, complete, done or finished. But 50% can mean halfway there, only halfway, not even close, barely even started and so on. Kinda like telling the paint store to get you a gallon of yellow paint. Do you want that as interior, exterior, flat, gloss and then sunflower yellow, Spongebob yellow, manilla, or another shade. There can at no time be a true and complete closed laboritory survey with answers that cannot be twisted to match the need as long as humans are taking the notes, because even the graders are adding their opinions as they write the conclusions.
Did you know that animals are included in surveys for vehicular accidents? Hit & runs, no seatbelts, anywhere a death looks good on paper the animal will take that spot so the media can run with it but not tell you the specifics. Also, as an example there was an accident reported in the newspaper of a 5 ton cement truck turning too sharply and landed on an elderly woman and killed her. Where is the survey point here? It was also pointed out that she failed to wear a seatbelt. Do you actually think that strap would have helped her under all that cement spilling everywhere?
So why doesnt the media cut the crap and stop bringing up percentages, surveys, polls and such? Because we yearn for the answer to be what we want it, and the closer the number the better we feel.
Just like doctors (whom PRACTICE medicine) take into account what has worked the most in their opinions from what they have been taught, seen, heard, or so on. But what worked for one person doesnt always means it will work for another person with exact blood type, skin color, height and wieght. Their guessing almost ruined the egg industry because cholestrol is so bad. And now we are thinking "carb free" no telling what kinda jobs thats hurting: potatoe farmers, bread manufacturers and such. Lots of money and time can be spent in a hospital, hundreds of dollars for guessing which shot will fix you right up when even you dont know what you may be alergic to. The last allergy test I took (within this last year) cost me after insurance $250, just to find out I was allergic to one type of tree but not another similar one, so they claim it was false and not allergice to anything. But I was only tested for pollen and types of pet hair, I was never tested for all the new oil, petroleum, pesticides and food preservatives we eat or use nowadays.
This also reminds me of mechanics, whom learn strickly from hands on, yet they have worked on your car before, after they replace all your $50 to $200 sensors it was just a faulty wire. Instead of using less than $1 worth of elecrtical tape you still have to pay for all the time and equipment they changed out on your vehicle.
