I'd guess that 3.2% is too high by an order of magnitude. Wilder blind guess: with the bad govt numbers coming from reporting all minors as "sex trafficked"; and your survey numbers being driven by the noise lower bound - you didn't validate that measure on known tiny numbers.

% here is irrelevant. Only absolute number is important (which should be 0)

Yah good luck devising public policy with a zero target for anything

This is an interesting approach - good for you. Who knows how accurate it is, and there are all sorts of possible biases and such. But it has the advantage of drawing on *all* the available information - by using tacit, subjective judgment. A great start.

...never afraid to address controversial topics that piss of all the virtuous, inclusive, caring people that rush to trash you when you don't properly align. 🤟

Why are you attracting hate-bots?
Unless real people are creating alt accounts just to say mean things to you.
