You say that a 78-response survey is not enough to generalize about paper verification habits, especially when suggesting that 75% prepare in advance and 25% at the last minute. I can confirm that to assert such a thing, more solid data is needed; otherwise, it's just intuition or an anecdote, not a reliable statistic for everyone.
For example, to know if Belgian parents prepare their schoolbags the night before, I wouldn't just survey 78 people randomly, but hundreds of parents from different schools and regions to refine the results.
Conclusions based on so little data are fragile and should not be presented as a truth about travelers' behavior.
It just creates more confusion and doubts for people seeking clear information.
