You've got no evidence and your logic regarding sample sizes is unsound.
10% is a huge sample size for any survey. Look at how it's calculated - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

Where is your evidence for anything that you’ve said? Where is your evidence that it's polluted?
- waivek 8y agoI understand ten percent is a huge sample. But it's a polluted one. That's all I'm saying.
- hungerstrike 8y agoOK and all I’m saying is that you have not presented any evidence for your claim at all.
- waivek 8y agoI'll use the previous statements one at a time to build a case. I'll use only the statements that you have said or accepted. Everything I'm typing, has been said before. People who are fine with their apps don't write reviews. Ten percent of the user base (at most) write reviews. This includes the people who want to complain more than the people who don't. In this ten percent a fraction of reviews are negative. A fraction of ten percent of the total users feel negatively about the app. This is a rare occurrence. If you feel I've misquoted any part then I apologize.
- hungerstrike 8y ago> People who are fine with their apps don't write reviews. This is obviously incorrect since you can see positive reviews, many of them in fact, on many apps. I myself have posted positive reviews... not sure when you thought I agreed to this. That alone pretty much kills your whole theory. Sorry but I still don’t agree with you and I think you’re really reaching here. Most importantly though, you have presented zero evidence in favor of your claims.
- waivek 8y agoPositively reviewed is someone who likes the app. I was very careful with my language to avoid this confusion. I said people who are fine with their app.
- hungerstrike 8y agoOK and I’ve seen plenty of 2.5 - 3 star reviews where people were just fine with the app too. Same thing with products on Amazon. I’ve also left review such as this myself. People like sharing their experiences with others. They’ve been doing it for thousands of years. Go figure. Care to try again?
- waivek 8y agoI guess since you've seen 3 star reviews my argument collapses on itself. If only you hadn't seen those pesky 3 star reviews. What a compelling argument. "I've seen 3 star reviews so it must be true, because I've seen 3 star reviews, personally"
- hungerstrike 8y agoI’ve written them personally. You can also go and look at some of them yourself. That’s what empirical means.
- waivek 8y agoThe mere existence of data is not the same as empiricism.
- hungerstrike 8y agoThe definition of empirical is: “based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic.” Was there a salient point that you were trying to make or are you just going to continue to misrepresent definitions of words that you can easily look up for yourself?
- waivek 8y agoPeople who are fine with their apps don't write reviews. That's why the sample is polluted.
