You said "Surveys are just based upon who happens to answer them." While this can be true, any legitimate pollster knows very well how to avoid this problem, and has for well over 75 years.

Until we get a definitive answer from Amazon or from exactly how the poll was conducted, it's just a guess and it's meaningless. The problem is that we get numbers tossed at us from all over the place and nobody says how they arrived at these numbers. So until then, it's a guess and a guess isn't going to cut it.
