Since you seem to be admitting that the data is irrelevant to any
point about registrants, I'm not sure why we're talking about it.

What you intended is no concern of mine.  The point is that it _is_ a
distraction, because whoever commissioned the study (also completely
irrelevant), it is not a study about registrants' familiarity with
this tool, and that's what we're discussing.  There are lots of
studies in the world that are not about domain name registrants, and
none of them has anything to do with registrants' familiarity with
whois either.

Best regards,
