Marine Fish Survival: Discussing Coral Magazine's Poll

I occasionally write content and polls for Coral Magazine's web portal, and couldn't help but notice the results of a poll the magazine took of the survival rates of fish in the care of it's readers.  One can see instantly from the responses that the sample size is atypical of our hobby, as are the results.  Additionally, assuming the results are accurate protrayals of reader's success rates (and they probably are, more or less) one can see how successful aquarists can easily forget, or not even know about the very high mortality rates that are the norm in our hobby.
