So you are saying it represents which technologies the community considers cool?

Because that's exactly the context in which I'm quoting it :)

no I'm saying it isn't a good view into what people actually like. it's a view into what they want the world to be like.

people respond to surveys according to what they want the survey results to be, and not how things actually are.

Isn’t that a lot of what’s cool technology is?
