If we know that the CSV is actually a sample from a population, then we can make a stronger privacy guarantee.

I think this can be de-prioritized. I know population amplification is in DPCreator, but I've heard arguments from people that this is rarely a relevant question, because data is rarely truly a simple sample. There is always some sampling bias from collecting it.
