You may want to point out the problems with the study (aside from extremely small sample size you mentionedm there is also high likelihood of non-representation; as well as high likelihood of invalid answers in either direction, this being a survey on an extremely sensitive topic). There's also probably survivorship bias - chances are those who left the profession may have had different rates of assault than those who stayed.

@user5341: I agree with your assessment. I did point out the "limited accuracy" of a survey. But see my comment on the question: it is asking if the study existed, not if the claim is accurate. I generally prefer the other sort of question, because... I dunno, it seems to be more about learning the basic truth than trying to catch someone in a lie.
