Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com> added the comment:

It usually isn't wise to be preachy in the docs, but we could add a suggestion 
that proportional=True be used only when (0, 0) is known to be in the dataset 
and when it is in the same neighborhood as the other data points.  A reasonable 
cross-check would be to verify than a plain OLS regression would produce an 
intercept near zero.

    linear_regression(hours_since_poll_started, number_of_respondents, 
proportional=True)
