Francis, excellent use of statistics! (And I'm not saying that just because they supported my prediction, honest.:-)

Kiko, since the relabelling 25 "questions" have been asked about Launchpad projects, of which 2 were incorrectly marked by the questioner as being solved by themselves: question 7019, and question 6828 (which you answered). That's an 8% error rate, though obviously with a very wide confidence interval.

I can think of two reasons for Launchpad's 8% being lower than the average 34%. First, people dedicated enough to ask questions about how to use Launchpad -- rather than just not using it -- are likely those who have already adopted Launchpad, which means they're already good at dealing with non-obvious UI. Second, 8 of those 25 "questions" were actually requests for account removal, and once your account is removed you can't mark *anyone's* response as best.
