You're absolutely right. I found sites claiming to list "browser use" (not
*their* browser use) stats and didn't know enough technically to realize
that it's probably impossible for anyone to really know what browsers
everyone in the world - or even everyone in the US are using. I found this
out by asking the question on a list where many smart people pointed out
many valuable things to me. I'm trying to create a website that will be
accessible to as many browsers/platforms as possible since my audience is
diverse.
