except for those absolute relativists among us (like me) who argue  
that there are no facts only impressions and things that seem to work 
(e.g. running code), most people accept that "fact" comes in several  
varieties.  among those are statistical facts (the 51% fact-type you  
refer to) and anecdotal (the 'i have seen it with my own eyes' fact- 
type the SB & PR have been mentioning). And saying there is anecdotal  
evidence from many is a valid approximation to fact in many cases.   
often as well as one can do until there is a formal study taking many  
years and lots of money.

do you have statistical facts to back up your position?
