Of course not. Why would I care about telling the truth as long as I was getting paid?
You just said you'd answer it however they want you to. The way they want you to is truthfully.
LOL, this dude's been lucky enough to never read a strategically worded political poll apparently.
All polls are inherently biased in their wording. Almost no poll-makers are non-partisan, and the people most likely to complete polls are often the most biased.
Statistics baybeee! They'll tell you whatever you want if you structure your intake datum properly!
So why did women and men respond completely differently, if not because... they feel that way?
Got eem
I think you know what I meant.
What you meant is being communicated clearly. Why you think it’s some sort of conspiracy against big feminism or some shit is the confusing part.
They just want you to answer the poll legitimately.
Then why are they paying people to respond?
So they respond.
If you don't pay people then you're only going to get people who are really enthusiastic about it to respond. If you actually compensate them for their time then people will take time out of their day to talk about something they probably don't care about.
Id say to make a group of people generally averse to participating in such polls, participate.
Why do people participate in any such polls? Because they think their opinion is important and want it heard, or because they get something. Market researchers usually give test groups their products for free or at a discount. Researchers pay people to participate in studies. Most humans don’t do things without motivation.
No, I don't. You said you'd do whatever they want if they paid you, then immediately said you wouldn't do it truthfully if they paid you to answer truthfully. It's nonsensical.
So is it just the men who are lying 'to get paid', or are the women too?
I didn't say they were lying to get paid, I said if someone paid me, I would answer however they wanted me to answer. I speak for no one but myself.
I’ll select the first option for everything. Give me my AppleBee’s coupon!!
Then why are boomers immune to the pollster's secret agenda?
I don't remember saying they had a secret agenda.
