Why do you think there is no OPINION in Part Three? I think that there should have been. Maybe the reason there wasnt opinion was because we have to receive answers from those who have the most certain information, though this is not entirely true.

Some other learnings, comments, connections... I nd my answers in part 1 different from the survey because it had relied on the knowledge of two boys. The macro and micro view yields different answers.
