>You are the only person who has even mentioned surveys or questionnaires
I'm simply using a generalization of something you wrote to ease the flow of the discussion here. You wrote:
*"Ask them questions:"*
Why is my restatement of that to be a "survey/questionnaire" an unfair generalization? It wasn't a malicious intent to mischaracterize you.
If we did a search &replace for "survey/questionnaire" and changed it to acryonym "ATQ" for "Ask Them Questions", does the meaning of my post really change?
EDIT to YOUR EDIT:
>"At no point did we do a survey or a questionnaire."
Sorry, I wasn't contending that you did a literal survey. I was simply a placeholder label for discussion purposes.
If we can get past the misunderstanding of labels, I'd think it would be more helpful if you actually address the substance of my previous argument: why does "ATQ" about modal overlays trump "revealed preferences" about the value of web content?
>so it seems a little odd to pick that bit as the thing to take issue with.
It's not odd because the "Ask Them Questions" was your only visible justification to convince us.
