If you don't filter out anybody for being a troll:

sqlite> select count(StoriesRead6) from data where StoriesRead6 = "Whole Thing"; 7

sqlite> select count(StoriesRead6) from data where StoriesRead6 = "Whole Thing" and BasiliskCorrectness = "Yes"; 1

Probability that you 'believe' in the Basilisk given you said you read all of Sharon Mitchell's Synthesis is one in seven.

sqlite> select count(*) from data where BasiliskCorrectness="Yes"; 75

Probability that you said you read all of Sharon Mitchell's Synthesis given you 'believe' in the Basilisk is about 1.33%

If you'll notice, those weren't really obvious. You'd need to have done dedicated googling to verify Synthesis wasn't a thing.

But in general, yes.
