>How can you say that a few examples contradict the qualifier "most?"

--I didn't.   On the other hand, how can anybody say "most" is
supported by the available evidence (either)?  There is very little
evidence, making drawing any conclusions
dangerous... but what little evidence exists seems substantially honest.

>And how can you say without qualification that there is no motivation for
dishonesty in 2-man pairwise polls?

--well... what would have motivated it?  Do you seriously contend the pollees
in Romania were being dishonest in these polls, and if so why?
