I never understood this reasoning. What is a census? If we go based on the logic used, then any clinical trial should be ignored because they are the minority.... If you go around your block and ask people how they feel about (insert anything), you could get a rough idea how your neighborhood feels about that topic. Same with seeing opinions on this forum, or reddit, or X, or Facebook. Whoever came up with (I know it wasn't you, see it everywhere) the idea that the forums can't give accurate info about your demographic doesn't understand how statistics work.
