Of the sources I contacted, 89% said that yes, it is Mr. Zhu who goes forward and tell the world about CDMA adoption. 9% said it actually will be MII. Only 2% said it will be Unicom itself to make the news.

This I don't like to see. Did he really contact the minimum of 40 people needed to allow assignment of the 2% value to a single person who said, "Unicom")? And to make all the numbers really harmonize, the population has to be no smaller than 53 (where one person is ±2%, 47 people are ±89%, and 5 people are ±9%.

I guess it's possible he is a student who asked a bunch of his friends, or a worker who asked a bunch of his colleagues, but 40 or more "sources?"

I'm not saying tryhard is not credible, he has not been verifiably wrong yet. I just don't like this seemingly false precision.
