Are survey data asking for answers to specifically crafted original

?From a survey of the clerical employees of a large financial

?approximately 35 employees for each of 30 (randomly selected)

\usage{attitude}
I don't see how their could be any confusion here - it is a fact whether or not someone made a favourable response to a question. I agree that there might be murky areas, but I don't think this is one. Hadley
