One of which is that it doesnt exclude people who are prone to cheating and thus do it regularly, which skews the results in favor of the shitty behaviour being more prevalent when it's just a few people.
Someone who gets divorced 4+ times will sour the results for the percentage of marriages that last. As that person will quadruple the divorce rate vs the person who stays in a marriage which happens around 80% of the time.
Also a survey is polling just an incredibly small amount of people.
The most baffling one I have ever seen is when the media reels off stats of how many sexual assaults go unreported. Giving a percentage figure in unreported things is a mind numbing paradox.
Should I just accept my partner cheating as an inevitability?
