What interests me is the very similar levels of Type 1 vs Type 2.
In a random population sample you would expect about 10 times as many Type 2s as
Type 1s. Since Type 2 typically onsets in middle age or later whereas Type 1 is
more associated with childhood-onset, it suggests that the people who
participate in bricklink polls are disproportionately younger than the general
community. Which is probably not a surprising result.
