Curious Survey

Recently, this post showed up at another web site I frequent:

Hi everyone, as an EV enthusiast who is studying marketing I wanted to combine the two in my research topic for my degrees dissertation. Using quantitative research methods, a survey suits best and I think it would be good to collect data from those interested on the overarching topic of Electric Vehicles.

If you have 5 minutes I would really appreciate it, the more data I can collect the more solidity it gives my findings. I'd also be interested to see any opinions on this topic in the thread so please share if you'd like!

Below is the link . . .​

I took the survey and noticed a bias for environmental choices to the point some questions this "greenback Yankee dollar" owner had to skip and write in some answers. Not to an extreme degree but definitely a bias. But then another story showed up in the news: Climate protesters interrupt New York International Auto Show at Javits Center - CBS New York

Climate protesters interrupted the New York International Auto Show at the Javits Center on Saturday.

Video shows a man pouring what appears to be oil on the floor and on an electric vehicle before being taken into custody.

The protesters, who are with the group Extinction Rebellion, say environmentally harmful mining processes are used in the production of electric vehicles.

Two weeks ago, activists with the same group interrupted a performance of the Broadway play "An Enemy of the People."

During a scene set at a town hall meeting, the activists began shouting from the audience and walked toward the stage. They said they were not protesting the play itself, but were using it to voice their opposition to the use of fossil fuels.​

Then the final page of the survey I'd taken the day before had this:

The Dynamics of Electric Vehicle
Promotion: Unravelling Marketing
Strategies, Consumer Perceptions, and
Environmental Realities.​

After the fact, I realized this survey would be a great way to identify future recruits to "Exteniction Rebellion." Of course it could be a perfectly innocent survey but the coincidence in time . . . curious. Coincidence is not causation but even paranoids have enemies,
