telephone study??

No one wants to do a stupid telephone survey, aka telephone survey's are meaningless,

All people would say is no, no, no, just because..

These results prove nothing

No doubt you are an expert in statistics, speaking from long industry experience.

In fact, your personal feelings re. telephone surveys are wholly irrelevant to the mathematics & sampling techniques employed in such surveys.

To be precise, to those who engage in such studies your sentiment is of no material consequence.
