Abstract

This article presents comments in response to the article "An Experiment on Nonsampling Errors," by Eugene H. Sauls. The author broke his comments up into three sections, including how the sampling plan was designed, the conclusions that were drawn and how general recommendations fail to summarize the specific results of the experiments. The author claims that the sampling pool used was too small and homogenous in nature, which gave skewed results during the study. It is due to these flaws with the way in which the study was conducted that has led the author to refute the results that Sauls presents.
