It's a meaningless question counts as a "no"? Really Peter Stanbury? Wow. Even poorly written survey questionnaires have a N/A spot. Does "refuse to answer"ALSO =no? Does "I don't understand the question" mean No? Sounds like you're collecting votes. You should run for US politics. Basic surveying techniques - you just ignore them. There's no logic in your questioning. Sorry to tell you. What you're suggesting and your techniques is coercion not any kind of valid logic. You didn't win but you didn't lose Peter. Just invalidated. N/A I believe the phrase for me to use at this time is "Not Even Wrong"
