Where by 'prove' we mean 'somebody implied that they did on an anonymous online survey'. ;)
I think this is an underestimate if anything. People who skip the question might just not want to say and at least a few people who post didn't take the survey. I don't see how enough people could be motivated to put down a random score who don't post to make up for these possibilities.
I'd have preferred "at least 519."
You mean, as opposed to that kind of proof where we end up with a Bayesian probability of exactly one? :)
Wouldn't it be (relatively) easy and useful to have a "stats" page in LW, with info like number of accounts, number of accounts with > 0 karma (total, monthly), number of comments/articles, ... ?
This would allow for a running poll, if we want one.
Nice idea! I am interested in such statistics.
