You are way off base

>> People answer questions in order based on the information in the question being asked and in previous questions. In Question 1 it is not clear that the BD player category excludes the PS3. They're asking about a lot of technology and people are as likely to answer based on what a product does as what it is, so a person with a PS3 and no other BD player may respond yes to both questions.<<

All assumptions on your part, all completely unfounded.

This was an online survey, not a list read over the telephone.

>>Obviously you've never done research which required the development of a questionnaire and the analysis of responses. I have, only once for a research project associated with a post graduate qualification, <<

Obviously you don't know what you're talking about, because I've done this type of stuff more times than I can count. In fact I've done polls and surveys professionally, not just as a student exercise for a grade.

Harris has been in business since 1975, and has a stellar reputation. They know what they are doing. Forgive me for saying this, but you have zero credibility in this area. I'll take their conclusions about their poll over your assumptions about their poll, thank you very much.

>>I actually want to see BD be successful since I bought a PS3 as a BD player a couple of months ago<<

It's been pretty clear why you don't like the poll results, and I can understand that - you are financially and emotionally invested. However, due to your bias you are offering an argument based on assumptions that lack foundation. It should be obvious to anyone without a dog in this fight that the poll was well-done, and if you weren't letting your bias cloud your judgment your student experiences should allow you to see that both the methodology and results are sound.
