I don't think he claimed that it was either high or low; simply that is was "not representative", whatever that means.

I do think it is an irrelevant point. You seem to be hung up on judging self-publishing based on a random sampling of books; the fact that your assessment is (IMHO) accurate for that random sampling, does not, to me, justify the conclusions you seem to have made.
I do believe it justifies the conclusion I've reached that the majority of self-published authors can't (or at least choose not to) write books that have correct grammar, spelling and punctuation, and that's a hurdle that has to be crossed before I'm even willing to look at how good a story-teller they are.
