Survey:

  1. I always tell the truth in surveys

  2. I always lie in surveys

Technically theres always a bias of the most amusing answer so the "no" would be close to 5% at a minimum.

Oof I didn't know that was a Scott Alexander thing

[โ€“] MonkeMischief 3 points 5 hours ago

Why oof? O.o

[โ€“] marcos@lemmy.world 16 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yep, no survey get 0.2% of any kind of response.

[โ€“] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

0.2% of surveys get some kind of 0.2% response, especially if the survey is about statistics.

that's not how it works. That's not how anything works!

Percentile of a variable != level of that percentile.

[โ€“] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 9 points 12 hours ago

Pffft, only 0.2% of people understand surveys anyway.

Or some portion of people generally prefer throwing surveys in the trash, but for unknown reasons decided to complete that one.

[โ€“] zergtoshi@lemmy.world 21 points 18 hours ago

At least 0.2% lied.

Or they retrieved the survey from the bin, after tossing the former into the latter.

[โ€“] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

I think it's safe to assume if they didn't respond they do not love responding to surveys.

[โ€“] moody@lemmings.world 25 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It's almost like that's the joke presented in comic form.

It's almost like my comment was dripping with cynicism.

[โ€“] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, that's the real answer. 500 responses vs how many sent out

[โ€“] Kalkaline@leminal.space 2 points 16 hours ago

Also there's at least a small set of respondents with fat fingers.
