38. Kris thinks this poll is also ambiguous.
Edited on Wed May-12-10 03:03 PM by Statistical


Somehow based not this "ambiguous" poll he reaches the conclusion that
1) support for nuclear energy is falling
2) only 28% of people support nuclear power (because "only" 28% STRONGLY support nuclear power - the highest number yet)

Poll clearly has 4 possible choices:
STRONGLY SUPPORT
SOMEWHAT SUPPORT
SOMEWHAT OPPOSE
STRONGLY OPPOSE

However using "Kris logic" only people saying STRONGLY support actually support nuclear power. Despite the word "support" in SOMEWHAT SUPPORT the person saying that "really" means OPPOSE.

It is all very simple:
What the person actually says doesn't matter. What Kris "knows" the person "really" thinks is what is valid.

On a related note he also thinks majority of Democrats don't support nuclear power:


See it is "obvious".
