It is interesting to see how power is used in this list.
1 person presents the collected opinion of 66 people.
2 other discredit the opinion of these 66 because, as a sample of the list,
they are not representative.
The interesting thing is that these 2, as a sample, are even less
representative.
I bet there is a lot of people in this list, like me, who think issues of
representation (and misrepresentation) cannot be treated as a matter of
statistics. If 1 person is already feeling marginalized, offended,
excluded, this should already be enough for the members of the list to take
action and repel the offenders.
Cheers,
