ANSI handwaves are delineated as follows: few 10% some 20% many 30-40% half 50% most 60-70% vast 80% anyone 90% A good way to think about this in social terms like polls etc (where %ages come up a lot) is to imagine the relative strength of two teams in a tug of war. 80% might seem low for the vast majority, but if you think about it as 4 people pulling against 1 it's easier to appreciate it viscerally.
