Lo ngumdumbekhulu. Usebenza imisebenzi eminengi egoqela ukwelapha ukukhwehlela, isisu, ufuba lokwelapha umuntu odle itshefu. Kambe liyelapha yini imvukuzane? Ngazibuza ngoba leliluba likhanya ngobubomvu indawana yonke. Ngasuka ngahamba uJock engakaqedi lokukhuluma. Muli Petelo wacibili 2:6 nakabili twabelengamo umulilo wa muyayaya. Lelo ili lembelo lilanda ifyo Lesa alikanda imisumba ya Sodomu na Gomora ukuyoca icalenga ifyo Lesa ali no kucita kumpela ya calo. "Bancitatubi bamu Sodomu tabali mumulilo nanomba tulewita ati umulilo wamuyayaya kufyo wa onawile imisumba nabantu. Pamulandu we buku lyakusokolola lyabomfya ifintu ifya kumwenako namashiwi aya malembelo. Icakumwenako Ukusokolola 14:11. Ifilanda abaluba, Ne cushi ca kushikitika kwabo cileya cilelola mumulu umuyayaya." Ici cile umfwika kwati kucula kwa muyayaya. Lelo natumone ifyo amalembelo yalaesha ukulondolola amalembelo yanankwe. Bantu baseMtuba ngyabonga ngokungafeli phakathi okwe-flask kodwa niphumele obala ngamalungelo enu. Uma singaqhubeka nokubambisana kuningi esiyokuzuza ezinkampanini ezikhonze emakhaya kodwa uma singavuma ukudungwa siyohlala silambile kudla abathile ngobuqili. Ngaphandle nje kokuba yisibonelo ukwethula imibono yokumelela, i- Literary Digest i- poll iyimifanekiso ephindaphindiwe, ixwayisa abacwaningi ngezingozi zokuba nesampula esingenasici. Ngeshwa, ngicabanga ukuthi isifundo abantu abaningi abakudweba kule ndaba akulungile. Ukuziphatha okujwayelekile kakhulu kwendzaba ukuthi abacwaningi abakwazi ukufunda okuthile kusuka kumasampuli angenakwenzeka (okusho, amasampula ngaphandle kwemithetho eqondile enamathuba asekelwe ekukhetheni abahlanganyeli). Kodwa, njengoba ngizobonisa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kulesahluko, lokho akulona iqiniso. Esikhundleni salokho, ngicabanga ukuthi kunezimiso ezimbili ngempela kule ndaba; ukuziphatha okuyiqiniso nanamuhla njengoba kwakunjalo ngo-1936. Okokuqala, inani elikhulu lemininingwane eqoqiwe ngokungenasici ngeke liqiniseke ukuthi kulinganiselwa okuhle. Ngokuvamile, ukuba nenani elikhulu labaphendulile kunciphisa ukuhlukahluka kwezilinganiso, kodwa akunciphisi ukuhlaziya. Ngedatha eningi, abacwaningi bangase bakuthole ukulinganisa okuqondile kwezinto ezingalungile; zingaba ngokunembile (McFarland and McFarland 2015) . Isifundo sesibili esiyinhloko esivela kwi- Literary Digest fiasco ukuthi abacwaningi kudingeka bahlole ukuthi isampula yabo iqoqwe kanjani lapho benza izilinganiso. Ngamanye amazwi, ngoba inqubo yesampula kwi- Literary Digest i- poll yayisetshenziswe ngendlela ehlelekile kwabanye abaphendulile, abacwaningi kwakudingeka basebenzise inqubo yokulinganisela eyinkimbinkimbi eyayilinganisela abanye abaphendulile kunabanye. Kamuva kulesi sahluko, ngizokubonisa inqubo enjalo yokulinganisela-i-post-stratification-engakusiza ukuba wenze izilinganiso ezingcono kusuka kuma-sampuli angenayo.
