A selected fact can give a misleading impression.
For example, if you walk into a large group, holding a newspaper, and say "did anyone have a premonition that there would be a plane crash today?" somebody will say yes. If in fact there has been a plane crash today, they will take this as evidence that premonitions can be true. Usually there hasn't been.
'A selected fact can give a misleading impression' -Thats your excuse for making assumptions about the OPs conclusion -you seem to own the confirmation bias.
Your example, is a different scenario, starting with a leading question, inviting the chance of a positive response. Of course in reality it would have to one massive group of people to get one yes. Usually, all the group would look at the person asking the question and be thinking: 'nutter'
