21 percent of American downloaders
If it had said 21% of Americans between the ages of 12 and 34, I would have been impressed. However, it says "American downloaders." What constitutes a "downloader?" How many people are in that group? How many megabytes a day do you have to download to be a member of that group?
Statistics... anything is possible with the right verbiage.
