The propensity to use deodorant instead of soap is plainly baffling. Extra demerit points go to people who use deodorant instead of soap and call it "hygiene".

Most people aren't doing that though. The same table also lists "No. of washes/wk", presumably referring to body washing rather than clothes washing. All except three are washing daily. True, you could theoretically be washing twice daily, but if you don't have a work shower you'll be forced to wash at home, which kills most of the point because most people you interact with during the day would have smelled your odor. Most people don't have access to work showers so it's not really realistic to expect people to showers instead of using deodorants/antiperspirants.
