There are different approaches to surveys and loosely-worded questions or open ended questions are one legitimate approach.
OSM suffers from a huge turnover or drop out rate of active mappers perhaps the survey may help identify ways to help retention. We've already identified that what is in the wiki is not necessarily what is in the map and their are some conflicts within the wiki, which some people may find confusing.
