Little moments

A large percentage of F1 viewers, so unscientific surveys carried out without a proper representational sample size, proper interviewing technique, prop...

A large percentage of F1 viewers only watch F1 for the crashes, that was meant to read.

But, I hate people who don't carry out surveys properly. I just saw an ad saying "80% of women (sample size: 22) would recommend this to their friends". Hint: 22x0.8 = 17.6 - at least pick sample sizes that give your percentage an integer result. I was reading an academic textbook yesterday which claimed:

"In a University in Australia [another reason not to have Universities in Australia] 336 Computer Science students were sent an email ... asking for their password. 138 replied with a valid password ... 200 changed their passwords without prompting."

Now, hard enough though it is to believe that every student in a department actually read an email and took this kind action based on it, does anyone else see a problem with that statistic?

Anyway, I had a point when I started this post...people watching events just in case something bad happens. Here's a little something to keep the faith going:
