Naturally - this is an anti-Phorm thread. Of course they will endorse his position.

All published surveys so far indicate that most people will take an anti-Phorm/Webwise position once they know what is going on.
Published surveys of the majority of those who are likely to be effected ? 'Most people' is an assumption and not qualified or quantified.
Until (and if) Webwise does go public (as in a full service), you cannot predict how the majority will respond. Many may not understand (the majority I think), many may not care, many may think it is a benefit (assumptions on my part).

The burden of the argument is therefore on those supporting Webwise and similar schemes to show that people will welcome them. So far no evidence has been presented to support this. Perhaps that evidence should be presented before this dialogue continues.
The burden of argument (by which I assume you mean proof) is not, and cannot be upon those who support Webwise (which I haven't said I do - I just said I may) because there is not yet enough information or facts with regard to how the majority of those effected will react. Whether they will welcome it or not is yet to be tested, because your aforementioned surveys have very little substance because of the small cross-sections and demographics used.

Any data or statistics can be manipulated towards your own ends.
