To the person who predicted an 80-90% significant difference between different parts of California: I predict with at least 90% confidence that there will be no significant difference, because of the wide spread of locations and smallish sample size of this survey.

As far as I can tell, the survey didn't even ask this question. 13 respondents identified as living in California, but they didn't give any information on which part of California they live in.

The person who made this prediction identified as living in "NorCal" in the "further comments" section. Maybe they meant something more like "I predict that such a difference could be found with an ideal study."
