I disagree with the disagreement. For one thing, the poll can only
measure anything about the population that knows about it. That
population is a very small percentage of the Fedora users. And there is
no reason to assume that population is representative of Fedora users.

I too have years of academic studies, and I even graduated from a very
respectable institution with an advanced degree :)
