TLDR Think tank spin job. Nothing to see here.
This strikes me as a number porn trying to spin something by benchmarking against a distinct and unrelated question.
Of course the answer to “Do you know Elon Musk runs Twitter? Yes/No/I don’t know” is going to be skewed towards Yes or No much more frequently than something that requires much deliberation: “do you think the US lacks a meaningful national law on privacy?” Even if I am I supposed to answer that question as a legal expert, it may require sophisticated analysis to know whether it is meaningful, and as a layman do I know something is passed on a national level or not. Just too many moving parts.
- svachalek 3y agoThe questions are the opposite of what you describe: DKQ1 As of April 2023, which of the following companies did Elon Musk run? - Tesla and Twitter {correct} - Uber and Snapchat - Twitter and Uber - Snapchat and Tesla - Not sure DKQ10 Does the United States have a national privacy law that sets common standards for what companies can do with all data their products and services collect? - Yes, it does - No, it does not {correct} \ - Not sure
- tgma 3y agoThanks for posting the exact questions. I apologize if it came across as what the quotes means quoting from their questions. I was making a point with an example, which stands, that the answer to the latter question requires much more knowledge and deliberation than knowing a simple fact.
