Just out of curiosity, what percentage of private general aviation
pilots have an instrument rating?

For the U.S., that information is available on the FAA web site.

I've no doubt that it's available somewhere, so you've contributed
nothing by pointing this out.

Once I pointed out which agency's web site had the information I presumed
it would trivial for a person of average intelligence to locate it and
follow the obvious links.

Here's the web site: http://www.faa.gov

This way you can determine the information authoritatively - otherwise if I
claimed, say, that half of all pilots were instrument rated you'd have no
way of validating this information.

I think he contributed the point that you should occasionally try
looking something up on your own instead of asking someone else to look
it up for you. He even told you where to look.

What percentage of licensed drivers have CDLs?

Well, obviously the BMW motorcycles need a special type of rating since
they utilize a horizontally opposed air-cooled cylinder type of engine...

Hmmm... Come to think of it, so do the old VW drivers...
