I was simply concerned to grab an opportunity to educate. One sees these
sorts of pseudo-surveys all the time, and people think they actually
mean something - which is to say that we can infer something from them.
That is completely fallacious.
I'm a relentless educator. That's my problem. There's no fix for it.
Maybe if I stopped breathing....but I'm not yet ready to try that!

I don't think Virgil is doing this "for fun". I don't think the
respondents think their responses are meaningless. Seriously now: who
in their right mind is interested in the practices of those who
bother to respond to this would-be survey? What possible importance
can be attached, at all, to their responses? I don't get it. If there
isn't some degree of belief that this matters (which is cannot, as
I've previously explained), what's the point?
it's called 'getting acquainted with people in a group'. people do
this at parties too.
hard to see what's objectionable about it unless one doesn't like
parties. (I don't mean political parties.)
