The last paragraph of the article:

"Because of its sample size (1,801 people) and choice of topic, Pew’s study might not be a fully accurate example of social media’s silencing effects, but it’s definitely fodder for discussion – if you dare! – as well as further research."

Sigh.

Which of the following does your sigh indicate:

a. You are sighing because you believe the study to be meaningless due to its sample size.

b. You are sighing because the writer needlessly undermines the results of a completely legitimate poll (+/- 3.3% margin of error for the subgroups).

c. You are sighing about poor comedy ("if you dare!").
