   That isn't really a fair assessment; although, I don't doubt that a   
   fair one would, also, be abysmal.  Suddenly shoving a camera and   
   microphone into someone's face and firing unexpected questions at them   
   is not evidence of anything, though.  50% of respondents wouldn't be   
   able to give their phone number under those conditions.
