Presumably if people don't care, they don't fill in the survey. But as an extra failsafe, they've also included the feature "twice as slow as your current browser". If you rank that high, then your result can probably be discarded.

But yeah, this design has worked well for many other surveys, so presumably it'll work well for this one. They're the experts :)

That's not what I said. People care about the survey and they do a favor to Mozilla with it. And if a question does not have the answer they want to give, then it becomes a problem. It's a different scenario than what you were saying.

With that attitude and without acknowledging a problem, it won't get better. If they were the experts, then they wouldn't need a survey. But its easy to discredit any credit with that dumb argument.

They're the experts in survey-taking, not in knowing what the users want - the users are experts in that. Hence the survey.

That remark was basically a reformulation of and agreeing with your "But, who am I..."
