Evinrude FICHT beats out Yamaha in JD Powers survey
GAZ,
The question isn't if polls can be biased, everyone knows they can be. The question isn't if boating polls and mag articles are designed to highlight the positive aspects of a particular boat. The question is does JD Powers bias their surveys so one manufacturer will do better on the survey than another. Not only has no one ever shown any proof that it is done, but if it was, all the manufacturers who were on the low end of the survey would emphasize how bias they are. JD Powers goes out of their way not to bias the survey because they want to make money for a long time. To do anything else would be very short sighted. "GAZ" wrote in message ... "Gould 0738" wrote in message ... Controlling the questions is an almost foolproof way to influence, if not absolutely predetermine the results of a survey. When the survey is completed, Powers needs something to sell. If you need more proof, look at political polls. Every major player in the California election had polls showing him/her ahead of the competition but in the end it wasn't even close. Boat polls, political polls, all the same, all BS! Gordon |
