It doesn't strike me as all that implausible, given how many other indicators of quirkiness we have as a group (e.g., the 95-97% male, the 12% with PhDs (and 23% of members over 35 with PhDs), the portion with advanced math/compsci skill, etc.).

Math is not my strong suit, but my arithmetic comes out differently on the PhD bit. Are you counting as PhDs the people who have "student" in the "degree status" field?

I was working off the 233 people who filled out my earlier survey. I haven't analyzed Yvain's data; what percentage do you get there?

I didn't write it down and I don't want to count them up again, sorry.
