Survey Stupidity

Phillip Cairns took an online CBC Survey.

After answering all of the questions, he got this:

Wow, nothing like making a person feel useless. Why didn't they just throw out his data? What point is possibly served by telling him that his time was wasted?

I used to work in marketing research, so I gladly participated in surveys just to see how they approached various topics. But I haven't responded to a survey in at least 10 years.
