I'm trying to find the sample size, and where the studies took place, but am having trouble pinning it down.

I'm certain that unless the sampling was large, and spread-out, you'd get skewed results.

My gut feeling is that "Or another power" is wrongly correlated in the conclusion, and it shouldn't have been part of the same statement or question. I know there's all kinds of higher powers than me, but I don't believe in a surveillance sky dad. There's real ones that are man-made.

The sample size is over 5,000 people -- more than sufficient if the selection methodology is good.

They describe their selection methodology at length:
