Lots of words, saying nothing

>>>Yeah, I wouldn't trust that poll too much either.<<<
Big surprise. You don't trust anything that doesn't rave about BD.

>>>Regardless, the number discrepancy that David picked up on shows it wasn't those participating in the poll, but the pollsters themselves who were confused and were reporting the results inaccurately.<<<
I disagree. Unless you can prove otherwise, the pollsters are reporting what they are told, so if there is a problem, the people being polled are the ones in error.

>>>The results, if not the entire poll, are flawed.<<<
I'm sure you think so, but you haven't shown their methodology is flawed.

>>>It shouldn't be up for debate what the results of the poll were.<<<
Correct. Do you have sales figures showing that standalones are 45% of all BD players, including the PS3? Does anyone? Show me and I'll believe it. Otherwise, David is way off base.

>>>The fact that the pollsters couldn't deliver straightforward results indicates there is a problem.<<<
we are getting this second hand-an article about a poll. It sounds like you have issues with the article more than the actual poll.
