Well, accurate for the data it gets doesn't neccessarily mean accurate
for all debian users, and there's probably reason to believe that
systems that installed popularity-contest or send out the emails would
differ systematically in some ways from systems that didn't (For one,
the computer would have to be on and on a network when the emails are
sent, so most respondants are probably on and on a network continuosly..)

In any case, it's probably a good thing to use, as long as its not taken
too seriously..
