33. I've studied statistics. And yes, within a margin of error, a scientific sampling works quite well.
You sound like a Creationist saying "Well, geeze, I couldn't possibly be descended from a monkey. That's crazy talk!"

Study the science of how it works. Understand taht you depend on the scientific reliability of statistical sampling every time you eat meat or vegetables, every time you ride on a bus or airplane, and every time you take medication for what ails you. The safety and efficacy of all these things that you personally depend on is guaranteed by scientific, representative sampling.

So shut up.
