kaal:claim:2447306-007

Enlarging the sample does not cure selection bias in non-statistical sampling: a bigger sample neither compensates for the bias of non-statistical techniques nor guarantees that the sample is representative.

Source quote, verbatim
Increasing the sample size does not necessarily compensate for the potential selection bias of non-statistical techniques or guarantee the representativeness of the sample.
