Thanks for the additional information.  I'm still statistically horrified at
some of the problems, not least the self-selecting nature of the sample. 
OK, a good sample frame is going to be difficult to obtain, but at least
some effort should have been made!

I concur.  I think we need to refrain from adding any more weight to this
flawed research.  I am very worried about where it may lead.  I also suggest
that FSFE should make a representation to their funding body, offering to
consult on the methodology of future research.
