Benis is the Aaron Rodgers of redlining, the Jay Cutler of polls.
As much fun as it is, I’m not going to have the free time to poll troll Benis all day, so here’s why he’s the Jay Cutler of polls. Obviously he’s reporting everything I say on his threads, because there’s really nothing that bugs the intellectually insecure more than people challenging their assumptions - especially with nerdy words. So you’ll never see this on his poll.
”Your design was poor, so you are predictably drawing poor conclusions. You biased the poll through the choices you presented. Instead of the standard 5 - very strong, strong, neutral, weak, very weak - you gave people 4, and skewed negative. So you are missing the people that don’t “love” the change, but enjoy it, and would prefer not messing with it. Maybe that group draws from neutral, maybe from very strong. You don’t know, because you didn’t stratify properly.
You’re presenting the results so far as though they are basically neutral, which is ridiculous. Based on the results you actually have, the coefficient result is +.31. The most accurate generalization you could make is that most people show ambivalence and a willingness to adapt, and among the people who feel strongly about it, far more people find it positive than negative.”
