I think the 5% thing is at least meaningfully different from zero or "vanishingly small", so there's something to the fact that people are putting the outcome on the table, in a way that eg I don't think any significant number of physicists ever did about "LHC will destroy the world" type fears. I agree it's not meaningfully different from 10% or 2% and you don't want to be multiplying it by something and leaning on the resulting magnitude for any important decisions. Anyway I expect that given all the public attention recently more surveys will come, with different methodologies. Looking forward to the results! (Especially if they're reassuring.)
