Sheesh. I wasn't arguing for the test, or concern for those who don't know about the transition. Just saying that announcing the test (in a geographic location) four months in advance, and claiming this will be a gauge of the rest of the nation is flawed by the fact that it's going to be in local NC news for four months.
That will make the results inapplicable to the rest of the country who is getting only the normal buzz about Feb (which the govt. is apparently worried isn't enough).
If people are so unaware they don't know about the transition they won't know about the test. Those that do know about the transition well who cares if they know? How will that mess up the test? what some peole might buy boxes or new TVs earlier? who cares that's actually a GOOD thing.It would have been better to have a nationwide "test" in September.
No it wouldn't. A smaller test makes it easier to figure out if there is any issues.
