Also incredibly ironic. These people are just seeing what they want to see and creating buzz within their own community rather than measuring something useful.

A more useful depiction of the error would be to somehow calculate the bias in the Alexa population (my guess, tech investors are the only segment of the population using the Alexa toolbar, which is incredibly ironic). Huge error bars on a
