"We conducted a 'convenience survey,' meaning we gave it to those who happened to be available at the time rather than to a randomly selected cross section, so the results cannot necessarily be projected as representing the whole population."

Could this be the reason this sounds like horsesh!t to me? That no way to do an accurate survey. Being in the Navy, I understand what kind of people you conviently come across. If you walked through my ship and hand a survey to those you run into, it's most likely that the results are going to be negative. Those sweeping the passageways are not going to love their job as much as someone in a gun mount (me) tearing sh!t apart and feeling they are accomplishing something. What a bunch of jackasses to do a "convience survey". I think what they meant was "lazy questioning"
