Gotta love that 5-10% that are just contrarian, misguided, uninformed, careless, or picking random numbers.

There's some statistics thing about how, like, 5% of people are just fucking around in every survey and will choose absurd answers for fun. I don't remember what it was called though. Big foot's constant? Moon landing principle? Something like that.

There's also web crawlers and survey farms that can (in)advertantly influence results.
