"bla bla bla sample size bla bla" But seriously, while you can question the sample pool and whether it's representative of the nation, this at least highlights a problem. To be fair, the results are better than every other country sampled except South Korea (which is still pretty sad). And finally, my favorite quote for people on both sides of the statistics reliability debate: "All statistics are wrong; some are useful."
