It's hard to tell how much of your post is sarcasm. Yes, this lone project will not solve the problem of people believing bad statistics. And yes, this lone project might still make a positive contribution to adoption of free software.
It would be great if everyone used free software because all the World suddenly valued freedom and committed to not letting it slip through their fingers, but it's also important that people move to free software for whatever reason. This is important because plans such as Treacherous Computing and other anti-public uses of Digital Restrictions Management depend on one company, or a small group of companies, being able to take control of the software that people use.
