Never intended to claim that.

You said "great majority of reports from Mac owners are that they are happy
with their boats and would buy another one." Then, you went on to say how
many were sold, quoting a figure of 30K with some part of 15% saying they
were dissatisfied. I'm pointing out that some percentage of McD burger
eaters would say they didn't like the food, but the vast majority are
probably satisfied.

You claim that it's a good quality boat, right. So, citing a satisfaction
percentage of 85% isn't saying much.

This figure (over 30K Macs) was given in response to Ellen's quotes from
several people criticising the Mac. My point was that anecdotes and quotes
from a few people has little significance in light of the fact that we are
talking about over 30K boats. - It's a matter of logic and statistics,
Capt.

Please point to anything in my note that said that the fact that over 30K
Macs were sold proves that the quality must be good.
