Is there a public backlash towards the EU? I certainly think so. And there will be a similar backlash against Scotland, perhaps even more severe, if it gains independence.

Extrapolation means ‘estimating or concluding something that existing trends will continue or a current method will remain applicable’ by the definition I see in front of me right now.
Extrapolation is not a lie. It is a reasonable conclusion based on the evidence.
You, however, may choose to use alternative evidence to extrapolate from.

Whilst a more accurate term would be "assumption", I'm heading off topic so I will keep my contribution short and sweet.

Debatable use of "reasonable".

Extrapolation may not be a lie, but saying
Quote:
|
Reasons given included ... ...an unwillingness to buy EU goods given the attitude of the EU to trade with us in recent months.
|
when that reason wasn't given, or even mentioned, isn't extrapolation...
Or are you saying that would have been the answer to a question the survey didn't ask, but if they did, it would have been that?
