The stoner polling me was very amused when I gave my opinion of the quality of their survey questions. They invert the 1-5 scale from every other survey which I’m sure skews answers. And if I have to ask him to repeat the question 3 times I think that’s a bad sign.
I’d venture the random sample size is smaller/not as random as it should be too because it comes up as scam likely on my caller ID too. Just some thoughts from one random forum lurker.
