I don’t think that’s a particularly healthy way to look at television ratings. My viewing habits don’t look anything like those of the average OzTAM ratings box holder but at the same time, the system has to produce a reasonably accurate picture of what the nation is watching otherwise broadcasters and advertisers wouldn’t make crucial decisions based off it.
Sure, it’s true there are many people out there who don’t have (or want) a ratings box but since you’re highly unlikely to get all 25 million or so Australians agreeing on anything, we just have to deal with an imperfect system.
