I flat out don't agree with "most" and I'm having trouble with
18% although that's not what I was questioning. I was questioning the
sanity of anyone who would quote a statistic showing 18% of anything as
Mac. I don't question the ability of statistics types to find a way to get
an 18% number but I question the meaning of presenting that number as if it
actually means anything reality wise.

Put another way, what do you think that number means other than putting 18%
and Mac in the same sentence? It's like saying 18% of businesses have a
broken computer somewhere in the building.
