Oof, I totally get the frustration of this person. I hate questionnaires because they often have logical fallacies or edge cases that they’ve missed. If it is a questionnaire about a systemic issue, I feel that it lacks complexity to see these edge cases. But if it is about a personal issue, it’s even worse because then my edge case isn’t even considered in the questionnaire.
I mean, they’re right. It’s a very well explained problem and reasonable question.
I guess here the “funny” is that the researcher did not consider this when writing questions, but it’s not particularly surprising.
I mean, I LOL’d at the “this data is internally valid in the sense that I am precisely average in all respects, in relation to all the other [zero] people I know of the same sex” part just because it’s a clever way of saying it.
