• When the only questions to surveys are:

    Do you prefer:

    1. A horse kick to the nuts

    2. Stabbed in the eye with a hot poker

    You can say: 72% of people prefer being kicked in the nuts by a horse.

    There is no “I’d rather have chicken” option.

    So a few answering or not will make no difference when the options are restricted to funneling the answer they want to the top.

      I remember there used to be an internet joke site that included “the most accurate web poll ever” in which a significant majority votes that they wanted a car that burst into flames when you signal left more than anything in the world. In second place was a goiter.

      When you click the link to take the poll, those were easily the best presented options as answers to the question “What do you want most in the world?”
