Keep in mind that Nick's project deals nearly exclusively with data collected from very large commercial projects that are monster bashing games (which we can assume have an audience that differs in some way from text mud audience), and that his methods lend his data very little legitimacy. All his data is collected via opt-in polls, for instance, which are statistically meaningless in terms of representing a population. Don't get me wrong: The Daedalus Project has some interesting stuff, but they're a curiosity, not something to really depend on, with much respect to Nick.
