That's how random samples work. A small number like that is enough to get a decent estimate of the entire population. Give ar take a percentage point if three. That is, if the sample is actually random. That's actually near impossible to guarantee, as people who pick up their phones (or answer their door, or walk in the street and allow folks to ask them a question, or answer a letter) are different from those who don't.

The difference between us and a mouse is only 50 million years. The difference between us and a smart ape is maybe only 200k years. Now imagine a civilisation that has been around for 1 billion years. And then apply the same exponential growth curve that life and technology have on earth. The distance between us and them could be absurdly huge.
