I now pull the ripcord immediately on surveys that demand a crazy / unreasonable amount of detail and recall. I had one a few weeks ago that demanded to know every brand of whisky I have ever tried, and what month / year I last tasted it, going back 30 years. Not only is that an absurd request that simply leads to false data entry, but I'm not going to go to the trouble of even trying to remember that kind of thing if I'm going to be filtered out unceremoniously a few minutes later.

I stick with a lot fewer surveys these days because so many are poorly or incompetently written.
