Well, notice the exact phrasing used.

...indicated that Debian is the most popular GNU/Linux Distribution

How many distributions call themselves GNU/Linux distributions rather than just Linux distributions? This certainly doesn't excuse the attempt to pass off a self-selected web poll as something with any legitimate value.

As a disclaimer, I use Debian for both my laptop and my desktop, and think it's a pretty decent distribution. Its severe faults are balanced by its really cool aspects.
