Ok I see your point. It does not put me at ease though. IF they are so accurate about humans, then I definately feel even less at ease about our race. Ugh. Thank you none the less.
Please forgive my ignorance, but I do not see how this is possible. I can see if giving a possible viewpoint of generality. Yet I cannot see how accurate it can really be.
It really throws me for a loop how so very few people determine what TV statins think people are watching.
Nationwide for 2001-2002 they estimate 100+ million homes with televisions.
For nationwide stats they electronically monitor 5000 homes. For local stats (55 markets) they monitor 20,000+ homes in each market. (approx 1.1 million people) During sweeps, they ask approx. 1 million people to fill out "diaries" for a week.
IMHO, this does not seem like a remotely accurate system.
I believe the XFL is going to get sh1t for quite a while? Why? Because people fear change and new ideas. I realize that most of us here on/. aren't like that, but unfortunately we aren't the majority. I am not much of a sports person, but I was even tempted into watching a bit of the XFL. All I can say is that it was more entertaining than the few NFL games I have seen.

Yes there is one season left. They found out after finishing up filming this coming season that they were dropping the show.

Again, then most of the science fiction stuff written is also Scientology related material, by that argument.
