I couldn't find any legislative history on it either. There were more sources that I could have mined, but I didn't have time.

Icelandic statehood would have been a bad idea for the same reason that the "take all Mexico" movement in 1848 would have been.

You can ask the same things to the same people worded slightly different ways, and still get rather different results.

Indeed. You can rig a survey to produce any results that you want. I stress this to students when teaching basic information literacy. It's not enough to take statistics, especially population surveys, at face value.
