So essentially 200 of 20,000 is 1%.

Plus there's no data for the other side of the opinion. Either you vote in support of the OP or not at all. There's no scientific way for a player to poll other players. The only hard data we have is SE's own Player's Poll which restricted votes to one per active account and was done in a way where those who don't frequent the forums were made aware of the vote.

3 to 1, people were in support of instances.
And Nielsen ratings only account for 0.02183% of American viewers. But it works because they use sample sizes.
