The truth about THAT poll.
bennett seems fond of quoting a certain poll, that claims that 'fully 80%' of the public think the McCann's are lying.
Well, unless there is another one somewhere, this seems to be it.

Now, I may be wrong, but I only see three questions, more about the press sympathy or lack of. I cannot see ANY question about lying. Can you? So, what logical assumption should we make?

Vee my friend, I agree with you, this poll only proves that TB is a liar and that he is in the realm of sick fantasies.

Let's suppose a crime of a kidnapping where there are 90% of chances of the kidnapper to be a drug-dealer wanting some trade off, 9% chances of being a crime with sexual motivation and 1% of been other factors.
If you are investigating that crime you shouldn't say "oh, I'm sure this is a drug-related kidnapping" because there are still chances for the crime to be non-drug related. It can even be a crime related to custody and it will end up on the 1% statistic scenario.
Same applies to pools.
Madeleine crime have indeed happened. She went missing. No one knows for sure what did indeed happened to her. There are many theories and thoughts but there aren't any certain.
Even if "public thinks the McCanns are lying" that doesn't make them liars, that just shows what the public think and what the public think might or might not be true.
The issue is, it's just absurd to argue over pools and statistics because even if there are a small chance for a thing to happen, as long the chance is present it can happen.
There are very small chances for me to win the lottery, but there are people who win the lottery. So at a forensic standpoint it's not feasible to discard a scenario on a crime based on statistics or on what other people think.
If I buy one lottery, does my chances of winning it will change if all people on a pool state that they think that I will never win ?
THAT, my friend, is a VERY good way of putting it.
Re: The truth about THAT poll.
Agree totally.
Yes people may 'think' the McCanns are lying but it doesn't prove they are lying.

WE know exactly who the liar is: the one who failed to solve this case, who preferred to write books of lies, to gain disgusting money at the expenses of inocents, who he betrayed, at the expenses of child, also betrayed by him.

Correct Pedro.
Who also fed the newspapers stories to sway the public into believing the McCanns were guilty of something!
