Having theoretical access to a computer, perhaps via a library that hasn't been closed down, with the help of some knowledgeable and helpful person is not a realistic option for very large numbers of people.

Some things are worth worrying about or making a fuss about. Holding a census is not.

On the other hand, objecting vociferously to the run down of libraries, which I touched o in the first paragraph is.

Save your ammunition for the targets worth shooting at is a good principle.
