I don't think it's meaningless, but it should be interpreted with a lot of caution.
The playbook stuff is fascinating for example. It suggests that there are a lot of people that don't care about Android vs iOS, or advertising campaigns or retina screens or Note styluses and just want something that doesn't cost much but will do the job. It may be that something like the new £99 Acer 7" could do pretty well.

And yes, whilst it apparently discounts Appl-e store sales, it does look at people who leave the house saying "I want a tablet" rather than "I want an ipad", then go to stores selling all or most of the popular brands.
