I think they key word here is "sample." A quick read of the sentence suggests
that all U.S. amateurs were polled when actually just a "sample of all U.S.
amateurs" were polled. I am unclear what "reachable population" means,
though. The wording of the statement is so ambiguous as to make the statement
itself useless for anything at all.
