Gallup-investigations are the most common way to meter the popularity of some person or political party, and the same style of investigations are made in many other areas. One of the areas is the remembering-illnesses and cancer, where the food or some other things connected with those diseases are investigated by using Gallup-type samples of persons, who use some product or who has some kind of lifestyle.
And even if the Gallup is in paper so-called trusted investigation method, this method is very easy to manipulate. The manipulation happens in the selection of the samples. The samples could be chosen from the persons, who are members of the party of some politician. And they can also be chosen about the patients of some Alzheimer clinic. That would show the rising part of some patients in the sample.
When we are talking about investigations, where the absolutism is connected with Altzheimer, we must remember, that there was mentioned, that this investigation would not observe the early way to use alcohol, and that means the sample may have very interesting past with alcohol and other drugs. If some middle-aged person would become absolutist, there might be the reason, that this person has been an alcoholic.
But that kind of lifestyle articles is very interesting to read. Sometimes I have thought, that the best way to get information is to go to sit in the bar and ask questions of people. And in this case, the silly imagination would jump in my mind. Is behind some alcohol marketing actually some organization like Scotland Yard, what offers a pint to the informer, and then ask their questions? Of course, this is one of the most paranoid thoughts, what I ever had. But the reason, why some journalists are taking care of people's right to drink alcohol so fanatically? This is the very good thing to talk in the terraces at the very hot late summer day.
The article, what I mentioned is below the text, and it's written in Finnish
