[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9127947, member: 6801228"] You are completely missing the point. By your logic every survey ever created is useless because you can't precisely get exactly what people mean. There is no direct line, there cannot be. You say it doesn't matter, but it is the entire point. It was an example. They use it for non-number surveys too. It isn't a phenomena that only occurs when you have numbers. The entire theory rests on the idea that the extremes on both ends cancel out, and the closer to the middle you are, the more accurate the answer is. No. You are completely making up this idea that 51% equals satisfied. If you were "satisfied" with your work would you redo it? Would you refer to it as something you believe you can still salvage? Heck, remember, a score of 51% doesn't even get that. It gets tossed in the trash. This is like saying that getting a 51% on test, since you got more answers correct than incorrect, means you pass. It doesn't work that way. And it may sound weird to you, but that doesn't make it false. 51% on the One DnD survey means enough people said "dissatisfied" and "Very Dissatisfied" that it is getting thrown out. You can say "that's stupid, 51% should be salvageable and 49% should be thrown out" but that isn't what they are doing, and they are doing it the way they are for a plethora of very good reasons. Including 1) Getting a super majority 2) Better public perception 3) A goal of high quality. Then why is there a very dissatisfaction level Max? It would be like having a Living, Dead, and Super duper dead. There is no point in a category that is just the exact same as the first category, only with an exclamation point. [/QUOTE]
