Stupid Thought: In commercial surveys when . . ..

[Schadenfreude]

The group surveyed has a size of ten people, there's always that one guy who disagrees.

Yet, when they have a survey of five people, that same guy is always there Q) . . . how come he (or, more likely, "she") always gets to go on those surveys?

Discuss.

maybe he just likes surveys..

 

[So]

My guess: they survey twice, choosing the group from the first for the second. If they said 10/10 or 5/5 regularly, nobody would believe it.

What the hell kind of survey has a sample size of 5 or 10?

Much more likely they're simplifying a much larger group.

It's a PITA to say 913 people out of 1000 when you can just say 9 out of 10

It's because one person wants to be a jerk and disagree just for the fun of it.

That's too brainy for this thread . . . either formulate a stupid answer where us stupid (for the time being) folk like us can understand . . . or leave! :evil:
