Fair enough. As I said, I "assumed" the details of how you invited participation in the survey, and you proved my assumption to be incorrect.

I did look at your pie chart for the question, and it still doesn't strike me as a properly constructed interval type of question (are "think it's a silly product" and "don't care that much" mutually exclusive? I could agree with both statements). "It's a silly product" is also not the kind of phrasing you would use to get objective results. The survey probably would have benefited from additional questions.

In any case, I'll stick to my original statement and say "take it with a grain of salt", as I would with the results of any poll.
