Best, J

Basically, explained Snyder, the statistic was a guess. “Everybody said, ‘We want a number. . . We got on the phone, we made a lot of calls, we talked to a lot of people, and we said, ‘Okay, here are some numbers’” (as cited in Best, 2001, p. 34). Snyder himself did not consider the estimate valid (Best, p. 34). ................
