article ignores the reality that the vast majority of calls anyone receives nowadays are scams of one form or another

they aren’t the simple telemarketer scams of yesterday; many are sophisticated attacks with high-consequence outcomes that require considerable effort to navigate, if engaged.

Disengagement is currently an important survival tool.

...so a sample of a subset of workers who are all looking for self-help? The survey might be self-selecting for people with anxiety disorders, methinks.
