Nobody doubts it was good enough for Robert Burns, but that was then and this is now.

I don't believe anyone has ever surveyed a large, stratified random sample of Scots to find out what the majority really thinks (and under what circumstances, i.e., who's saying or writing it, when, to whom, and how).

Of course, the minority view might still be important. And some unpredictable media event could send the prevailing opinion in the opposite direction at any time.

On to the next enigma.
