>So, I thought to post up some interesting stats in the hope that I can
>generate some others:
In a major survey (many years ago), "4% of respondents did not know
or could not remember how they usually got to work."
>From this, my colleagues and I drew the conclusion that in survey
research, 5% or so will give wacky answers. Never trust a statistic that
says "5% say ___".
I have laughed about this statistic for many years, and our conclusion was
serious. The original survey was for real, but I can't possibly provide a
reference.
