The opinion is honest as long as the responder is reporting what he or she truly believes. An honest opinion is not the same as an informed opinion.

the survey as it stands says that more people prefer paper books to ebooks. that's legit. i agree. but if we have the crosstabs available to us and there is a category for those who have read regularly from both paper as well as ebooks, then i would suspect that the preference pendulum would swing the other way.

Perhaps; perhaps not. My only real point is that the criticisms of the poll have been based on a myriad of assumptions without one shred of evidence, since no one's looked at the data behind the paywall.
