Your logic is a bit perverse in that you say this work is of little value but then you suggest that other questions could have been asked - if such questions had been asked and answered you would say that the answers are of little value because there is no proof and therefore also heresay.
Contrary to your view probably a lot of the people on this board get insights and value from this information knowing full well how the data was collected and its possible limitations. The year over year trends are very helpful. The number of respondents year over year is impressive, as well as, is the increase in share % and the number of + 1 million shareholders.
The fact that this community has participated in this survey and shared the results publicly on this Board the last 2 years combined with the resultant numbers also has probably contributed to getting meetings with POET management and day to day attention on info requests.
Thanks Rob for taking the time to do this work and encouraging all of us to provide you the info.
