- ryanianian 8y agoIt's still priming the responses. If the interest is in drawing a truly 'scientific' result, the hypothesis/wanted-conclusion shouldn't be in the prompt used on participants.
- birdtime 8y agoI think the point was that the fault may lie in the poster on HN and not the author of the survey, provided they're separate individuals.
- Slippery_John 8y agoThe questions and candidate answers themselves are also heavily biased. The survey is clearly not intended to be an unbiased scientific poll.
- ryanianian 8y agoSure - either way it's not a "fair" survey. If I were making this survey trying to be scientific and somebody posted it to HN with this title I would be quite upset at them for priming a large number of my participants.
