So, 5% of 34% i.e 1.7%, so 98.3% of "consumers" have never looked at 
whois

Millions out of 10s of Billions is so statisticaclly low as to be for 
all intents and purposes practically zero

> BTW, Aiden, 5% is the lowest number to cite.  The research study says

8% of 34% is still under 3% of the total !
