I have no wish to be excused by you or anyone else.

You might be flattered to be asked to take part in a thoroughly bad
survey being conducted by a lazy idiot who hasn't the faintest idea
what he is doing. I am not in the least flattered, which is why my
response was strongly negative.

Proper market research can take many forms, but it never takes the
form of asking ill-informed and badly prepared questions on a forum
whose purpose, content membership the OP patently does not understand.

The OP's inept approach will only produce misleading conclusions, to
the detriment of the recommendations that will go forward to the OP's
client. For that reason, it just isn't worth responding.
