15% sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
You've got to remember, while you may manage your inbox well (through being wary of who you give your email to and utilising email filters), not everyone does. A lot of people simply give their email to anyone who asks for it, whether it's a family member or a company offering them a 25p-off coupon. Now imagine if that type of person turned on Priority Inbox, and all their personal emails from family and friends instantly popped up to the top, they're quickly going to stop scanning the bottom "Everything else" section as well as they used to, aren't they. I know I did, I only check those email once or twice a day now.
- lsd5you 16y agoThe issue is not whether the claim is plausible or not, but that in fact it is virtually impossible to verify. We know that statistics like this are not true on aggregate, otherwise we would be many times happier, more productive and more intelligent than a generation ago.
