n=40 isn’t actually bad for generalized conclusions, given a reasonable spread in the results. Your second point is a much stronger argument. The sample is entirely non-representative.
IIRC from stats n=32 is generally considered the minimum to be considered representative for a random sample (and this is not a random sample outside of the company in Amsterdam 🙄).

I don’t think you’re disagreeing with the parent poster…
That’s correct.
Not every reply is a disagreement. It’s a common assumption that we’re not always aware of, because it’s true often enough.
I don’t think we’re disagreeing.
Neither do I. In fact, I’d be so bold as to say we agree!
Have a nice day :)
You too!
