Measure and scope
THIS ROW SUPERSEDES THE EARLIER READING. The 84 was recorded at SRC-130 as “the first two collapsed”; the first two weighted are 66.6 and the first three are 83.7. AND AN 85 PER CENT WAS PRINTED IN CHAPTER 4 THROUGH v26 FOR THE PREVALENCE OF SECTARIAN DISCOURSE; the survey publishes 70 for that question, reproducing as 69.2 weighted, and its Figure 31 row gives 34 and 36. NO 85 IS PUBLISHED BY THE SURVEY FOR IT.
Known conflict
Chapter 4 v26 and SRC-130 both carry the superseded readings. Both are corrected on 6 September 2026.
