In fact, I have repeatedly suggested that the studies you cite about polls quite possibly don't reflect the truth about a forum where users have chosen to register.
That's the case in every self select poll, so that's no different in this case.
In effect, chosen to participate in a discussion. In such a discussion, people are much more willing to give their opinion or experience, good or bad, with a product.
That has been studied carefully, and the result is - no, it's not like that.
You don't listen to that every time I tell it to you, because you don't want to listen.
I not only listen; I try to understand where you come from. I even asked you outright what makes X100 owners different from, for example, Jaguar owners, Canon 5D owners and Nintendo Wii owners, and you ignored me. Or didn't listen.
Instead you just keeping asking why shouldn't this X100 poll be like all the other polls in the world.
Yep, I do, and you never provide an answer.
Old studies about polls, from years ago, that don't reflect the new on-line world of users passionate about a subject and interested in discussing the subject. With nothing more than the need for two mouse clicks to express their experience.
The "new" on-line world is fifteen years old now. It's been studied very carefully, and you may note that the summary I linked was about - online polls, with nothing more than the need for two mouse clicks to express their experience.
Now, unless you have a better study to pull out, I hope you can cease your senseless flailing.
Even your "birthday paradox" idea ... it probably has no role in this discussion because the maximum number of possible dates for a birthday is 366. But here we are talking about at least 70,000 digital cameras.
You don't have a clue why I brought that up, do you. Have you read up on what the birthday paradox shows us? Hint; it actually has nothing to do with birthdays.
And then here, you bring up the subject of "hot air". You cite all this intelligent sounding stuff ... but it's all just unrelated, and in fact, what "Joe Average" has concluded, his common sense belief, is closer to the truth than what you think, with all your talking.
Show me the evidence that "Joe Average" and his common sense belief is more correct than scientific studies, please.
Quite obviously, some shocking number of X100s are experiencing the aperture shutter blade problem.
Evidence please.
And people should not let you lead them astray with all your nonsense.
And Chicken Little might be right - the sky might be falling, evidence be damned!!
You outright state that evidence is immaterial, "Joe Average" common sense that the problem is much wider than evidence shows should prevail, and you accuse
me of being insulting and spouting nonsense? How can you look yourself in the mirror with a worldview like that?
Jesper
if the scale of failures increases to beyond normal tolerance, perhaps their response will change to match.
