Hello,
This has lost making sense to me. i was advising a simple statistical
experiment to get an estimate of non-tech users preference of a win os over
linux or vice versa.
In a statistical experiment to find the average height of men and women of
different age groups, should i be asking myself the following questions
1. am i short?
2. when did i become tall? if so, how?
I think these questions are certainly not in the right direction in the context
of what i am referring to.

Please think about the following questions in your own context.
Were _you_ ever a "non-tech" user? If so, how and when did you become
a "tech" user? What would you need to do to become a "non-tech" user
again?
I believe that the answer to these questions will explain my point of
view.
