   Who knows ... usually it has a basis in greed and money somewhere along the   
   line.  :-(   
      
   ALL surveys are manipulated. Pretending the results from a few sampled pages   
   / people / etc. actually means anything for the millions of others they   
   didn't sample is statistical manipulation. The smaller the original sample,   
   the more meaningless the so-called "results".
