I wasn't saying the numbers were wrong. I was just pointing out that a sample size of 5000 is statistically accurate within a few percent, even though 5000 out of 250,000,000 seems like it wouldn't be accurate. I remember my statistics classes, they didn't end up in a black hole. -vbg-

My other comments were just a theory as to why consumer confidence has picked up, possibly a wrong one, but it's the way I see it.
