Error bars

Quote from OA

"Statcounter's figures are calculated based on more than five billion page views per month by users worldwide on its 1.5 million member sites."

Presumably Statscounter can fingerprint specific *machines* between those page views and sites?

I don't suppose there is the slightest chance of an error bar or statement of margin of error on these percentages.

If Statcounter are claiming MoE less than the second decimal point of a percentage then it would be nice to have that stated explicitly.

(Good reporting on the effect of aggregation by country on the final figures though).
