So you admit freely that you actively tried to bias your survey. I admire that you are honest about it, but I'm extremely confused as to why you are honest about that it seems like you're shooting yourself in the foot twice. Firstly by fudging the survey and secondly by admitting it.
Was the intention to manipulate the rates in order to get better PR for Callisto? It seems such an odd move to damage any scientific credibility you could have wished for right out the gates if you intend to honestly change things. I understand the mentality of "Well we are fudging the numbers but its for a good cause so we'll do it anyway", but you do realize that down the road it gives a carte-blanche option of those you wish to pressure into changing to just say "Well we don't give two cents what Callisto says, they've historically fudged their surveys and as such we disregard them completely"?
- felixhandte 8y agoWhen you accuse Anjana of (admitting to) intentionally biasing the survey, I think you're referring to this statement: > [we sent the survey to people] that we thought we could get a high response rate from. I understood that to mean that they sent the survey to people they expected would fill it out, not that they sent the survey to people they expected would fill out the survey in any particular way. Is that an interpretation you considered and rejected for some reason?
