Abstract
Combining the results of all surveys enables calculations that could not be performed legitimately with lesser numbers, but is this measure justified? It can be so only if the demographic characteristics of the combined populations under scrutiny do not deviate grossly from those of the national population. We possess various indications that they do not.
