I think it's pretty clear that the survey was skewed because it was
not random.  However, I recall reading somewhere that lefties, having
been shut off by society, tend to become interested in Engineering.
As a result, of a given group of engineers, a higher percentage will
be left handed than in the rest of the world.  The number that sticks
in my mind is that 25% of engineers are left handed, but I'm not sure
about this.
