the problem is i get some data, im impatient and im like 'ok 6k people is good enough', i start analyzing it, then inevitably find some niche question where not enough ppl fell into the bins i'm measuring, and then im like 'fuck need more data' and then rinse and repeat 8 times

right now have ~6500 respondents, and ~250 of those marked the max polyamory option. good enough? probably! except what if i want to measure men/women? only 74 of that bin is women, and now we're starting to get noisy. fuck, need bigger sample sizeeee
