That someone was me.

IIRC, they said the answer was not what they expected from the results
of other "research" so therefore must be invalid.
I was wondering whether the other research was of similar quality
to the internet poll (which was hopelessly flawed).
I was able to post the poll results at work and generate
some discussion. Typical comments were:
"Oh, I didn't know anybody used Ada anymore",
"A lot of people from the US military must read ESJ" and
"That survey is invalid" (this probably wouldn't have occurred
to them if C/C++ was 95%).
