@Vincent couldn't finish the survey purely because of the questions suggesting that I should "want" something.

Perhaps if they asked the question differently, they'd have gotten a completed survey from me.

I can't answer loaded questions.

The samples they get are meaningless if only people who complete the survey are counted.

The fact that I couldn't select none of them and move forward, meant something: Jerk Mozilla off, or don't.

I chose not to, and I am a Mozilla user!

I'm half-way through the survey right now; and rather than continuing, just stalling because I don't want to rank another set of three options that I don't care about. Some of the choices already given were like "well, I guess I'll pick the feature that I've at least thought about using once..." but now it's just a list of 3 things that I don't want whatsoever. I'm trying to give useful feedback, but I feel like I'm really just giving noise.

@blind3rdeye it's a load of crap, isn't it?

The statisticians may disagree, but they fail to understand that forcing "want" into the situation is not a true reflection of what people care about.

If they had just tweaked that one word, it wouldn't be as much of a steaming pile of turds that it is.

It's almost like they want people to not finish the survey, so they can have a warped sample.
