"I recently pulled a random selection of 10 websites from the sites I visit every day and found clear Twitter Bootstrap signatures on 0 of them."

1%, 1 percent, 1 per cent, 1 per hundred. 1% = 1/100 :)

They claim to have 1% of the web not 10 or more. Thus checking 10 specific websites is meaning less.

~1% of a large sample. I think that when N = 100 million you can make fairly strong claims, assuming non-systematic sample bias.

True. but 10 specific websites sample is still too small.

Regardless I think that the type of the website also matters to statistics. I guess that none of the top 100 in alexa uses bootstrap but I guess that more than 20% of the startups sites from the past year are using bootstrap.

I think the comment's point is that good sites are not using it, not that 10 sites is a good sample size.
