The effluxion of time has rendered it obsolete and innacurate.That is not because it was corrupted or misquoted when gathered - but because it is now exceedingly old. I believe that the market data gathered prior to 3rd edition was accumulated in 1998 through to 1999. That's eight years - coming up on a full decade out of date.As anecdotal evidence, a recent comment by Erik Mona and James Jacobs reveals that Paizo essentially receives zero mail from its regular readers delivered through the US postal system. All letters to the editor for both publications are delivered via e-mail.

I reject it as 100% dead wrong and obsolete information.Now, if what you mean to say is that a relatively small portion of D&D players actively and regularly use the internet to gather information on the game - that may be true. But no regular access?Nope. I ain't buying that in the least.  As doubters on Wikipedia are prone to say: [citation needed]</blockquote>
