It might be possible to get Scott to include the “number of Wikipedia pages read per week” into his next census. That would give more accurate base rates.
The annual LessWrong survey might be another place to consider putting it. I don’t know who’s responsible for doing it in 2017, but when I find out I’ll ask them.

Good idea, but I don’t think he does the census that frequently. The most recent one I can find is from 2014: http://slatestarcodex.com/2015/11/04/2014-ssc-survey-results/
