" The 2% sample etc is used because everyone else uses it because that was the first one to be used, and was originally pulled out of thin air because it "looked about right". It has NO valid basis whatsoever, so any work which is carried out utilizing a methodology which is flawed must, by extension, be flawed itself. I would suggest therefore that lots and lots of flawed work is not a healthy state of affairs, and not better than a small amount of work carried out to a high standard utilizing a rigorous methodology.
