There are many other phones out there besides the iPhone 4 that have signal problems. Is Scott Adams famous? Sure-but that doesn't necessarily mean he's an Apple follower. If his article mentioned anything about the iPhone, it still wouldn't negate the points about other callers, low battery, ambient noise, etc.

The article does mention the iPhone; it says he has one. A quick search also shows that (a) when the iPad was introduced, he thought it was a useless in-between product; (b) he now owns one, and loves it. So, maybe not a follower, but definitely a repeat customer.

Had you read the article, you would've seen ``I have an iPhone'' which makes your math exercise pointless.
San Francisco is a particularly hostile environment for wireless devices. I've been to plenty of places where my bars are all lit up, but I can't get anything through.
Edit: I guess I have to explain. Probability that a celebrity has an iPhone 4: 99%. iPhone 4 has known reception problems if you hold it wrong. Scott Adams complains about bad reception on his mobile phone. Therefore it seems probable that if he would hold it differently (or get a better phone), his complaints would be moot.
