    Why are people who make questionnaires so bad at making questionnaires? It’s baffling. This post is particularly glaring but I always find stupid errors or assumptions like this.

      Bias. Good 'ol plain bias.

      Unless you’re very self-aware, one requires actual training and practiced mindfulness to break free from that in all endeavors. There’s also some lack-of-the-outside-world going on too - one would need to have at least thought about world experiences apart from one’s own, to consider alternative possibilities.
